Centennial requires a fence permit for all new fences and replacement fences where height, location, or materials are changing. Permits can be applied for through the city's online permitting portal. A same-for-same replacement typically does not require a permit.
Centennial requires a fence permit for all new fence installations and for replacement of existing fences where the height, location, or materials are changing (e.g., chain link to wood). A same-for-same replacement of an existing fence in the same location with the same height and materials typically does not require a new permit. Applications are submitted through Centennial's Online Permitting Portal. The permit process ensures compliance with height limits, setback requirements, visibility triangle restrictions, and material standards. Fence height is measured from the lowest grade. Retaining wall and fence combinations may require engineering review. HOA approval may be needed in addition to the city permit.
Building without a permit when required: building code violation. Non-compliant fences: must be modified or removed.
