Englewood requires a zoning permit before erecting or structurally altering any fence, with applications filed with the Chief Inspector.
No fence, building, or structure may be erected or structurally altered in any district without a zoning permit issued by the Chief Inspector or designee. Applicants must submit a description of the proposed work and a plot plan showing the fence location on the property. Permit applications are processed through the Englewood Building and Zoning Department at 2-10 North Van Brunt Street. Permits ensure compliance with district height, setback, and material rules.
Building without a zoning permit can lead to stop-work orders, removal orders, and fines under Article XVIII enforcement provisions.
