The City of Erie issues a dedicated 'Fence' permit. Applications run through Code Enforcement (Room 407, City Hall) and require zoning and building-code review before a fence is installed.
The City of Erie's Bureau of Code Enforcement lists 'Fence' as one of its permit types and provides a dedicated Fence Permit Application. Each permit moves through the standard review chain: completeness review by a Permit Technician, zoning-compliance review by the Zoning Officer (confirming the fence meets Section 205.19 height and visibility rules), building-code review by the Building Inspector, and a utility/stormwater check by the City Engineer's office where applicable. Applications may be submitted to permits@erie.pa.us; Permit Technicians can be reached at (814) 870-1313 or (814) 870-1473, Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Room 407 of City Hall.
Installing a fence without the required permit is a code-enforcement violation; the city may require a permit after the fact and bring the fence into compliance with zoning standards.
