A permit is required for most fence installations in Fayetteville. Applications are submitted to the Development Services department. The permit process verifies compliance with UDO height limits, setback requirements, and material standards. Property owners should verify their property lines before installation — a survey may be needed. Underground utility locations must be marked before digging (contact NC 811). The city recommends discussing fence plans with neighbors before construction. Pool barrier fences have additional code requirements. Fences within certain overlay districts or along major corridors may have additional design requirements.
