Clinton may require permits for fence installation depending on height, location, and type. Permit requirements are established through local building and zoning codes.
Clinton fence permit requirements are set by local building and zoning departments under MS Code Ann. §21-19-1. Fences under 6 feet in residential rear and side yards may not require a permit in some municipalities. Fences over 6 feet, fences in front yards, and fences near property lines typically require permits. A property survey may be needed to confirm lot lines before installation. Mississippi municipalities require setbacks from public rights-of-way and utility easements. Pool barrier fences must meet separate safety code requirements. Permit applications typically require a site plan showing fence location, height, and materials. HOA architectural review may be required in addition to municipal permits. Processing time is usually 5 to 10 business days.
Unpermitted fence: $100 to $300 fine. May require removal or modification. Retroactive permits may be available with additional fees in some municipalities.
