Orland Park requires fences to be installed inside the property line with the finished (good) side facing neighbors. Shared boundary fences require mutual agreement; village does not mediate civil disputes.
Orland Park village code requires all fences to be installed entirely on the owner's property, set back slightly from the property line (not directly on it). The finished, decorative side of the fence must face neighboring properties and the public right-of-way; the structural side (posts, rails) must face inward. Shared boundary fences require written agreement between neighbors regarding cost-sharing, maintenance, and replacement. Illinois Adjoining Landowners Act (765 ILCS 130) addresses partition fences but is rarely invoked in suburban contexts. Fence disputes are civil matters; Orland Park does not mediate boundary, cost-sharing, or aesthetic disagreements between neighbors. A current plat of survey is essential to confirm property lines before installation. Contact Orland Park Building Division at (708) 403-6200.
Fences placed over a property line may need to be relocated at owner expense. Improperly oriented fences (rough side out) may require reinstallation. Code violation fines start around $100.
