Anderson requires an Improvement Location Permit (ILP) before any structure, including a fence, is placed or erected within the Plan Commission's jurisdiction. The permit is issued by the Planning Director once the fence conforms to the Zoning Guide.
Section 2 of Anderson's Zoning Guide states that within the Territorial Jurisdiction of the Anderson City Plan Commission, no structure, improvement, or use of land may be altered, placed, erected, or located unless it conforms with the Master Plan and Ordinances and an Improvement Location Permit has been issued. Fences are structures subject to this requirement. The Planning Director issues the permit on written application, accompanied by a scaled site plan showing lot dimensions, yards, and the improvement's location. Apply through the Department of Municipal Development, 120 East 8th Street, Room 112, (765) 648-6055.
Placing a structure without an issued Improvement Location Permit is a zoning violation; the city may require removal or conformance, with appeals to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
