Anne Arundel County requires fence permits for fences over 6 feet, corner lots, waterfront properties, and pool barrier installations. Applications are submitted through the Permit Center or Land Use Navigator online system. Standard fences 6 feet or under on interior lots do not need a permit.
Most Maryland jurisdictions exempt standard residential fences under 6 feet from building permits. Fences over 6 feet, retaining walls, and masonry fences may require permits. Pool barrier fences must meet code. HOAs in Maryland suburbs frequently require architectural review committee approval before fence construction. Check for easements and property lines before building. Maryland counties administer building permits.
Unpermitted construction: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. HOA fines per CC&Rs.
