Full Breakdown

Hemet lists 'Fence' as its own line item in the Building Fees portion of the city's master fee schedule (Section 2-379), separate from 'Block wall, Standard plan.' Under subsection (a), the city collects a fee for every service listed in the schedule, with the dollar amount set independently by council resolution rather than printed in the code itself. The listing confirms fence construction is a distinct permitted, fee-triggering activity from wall construction, inspections, and other building-department work, the code text itself does not specify a permit-exempt height threshold for minor fencing.

Violations & Fines

Building a fence without the required permit and fee is enforceable the same as any unpermitted building work: a code enforcement stop-work order and after-the-fact permitting with penalty fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hemet require a permit fee for fences?
Yes, 'Fence' is its own line item under the Building Fees portion of Section 2-379's master fee schedule, separate from the 'Block wall' fee, though the dollar amount is set by council resolution.
Where can I find the actual dollar amount for a Hemet fence permit?
Section 2-379(a) authorizes the fee but defers the amount to the city council's fee resolution, so the current number is on the city's adopted fee schedule, not printed in the code text itself.
