Fence permits required by most Bucks County municipalities. PA UCC (Act 45) adopted by all municipalities for building code enforcement. Permit fees and requirements vary by township. Contact individual township code enforcement office.
Most Bucks County municipalities require permits for fence installation. The PA Uniform Construction Code (Act 45 of 1999) has been adopted statewide and is administered by individual municipal code enforcement offices. Permit fees vary by municipality (e.g., Doylestown Borough charges $50). Some townships exempt small decorative fences below certain heights from permit requirements. Applications are reviewed for compliance with zoning height limits, setback requirements, sight triangle rules, and material standards. The Bucks County Planning Commission does not directly issue fence permits but assists municipalities with ordinance development.
Fence without permit: code enforcement violation in most municipalities.
