Hendricks County, IN Fence Regulations: Fence Permit Requirements (2026)

38 defines its own scope: the subchapter's placement, construction, alteration, repair, use, occupancy, maintenance, and addition rules apply to buildings and structures, other than fences, in the county. 40(B) sits inside this same subchapter, that permit obligation, which otherwise applies before beginning construction, alteration, repair, or placement of any building or structure, does not reach fences by its own terms. 40(A) as the source of setback and lot-boundary requirements for other structures, is a separate instrument from the general code and is not contained in this file, so any zoning-based fence height, setback, or location standard cannot be confirmed here. What is confirmed, and directly grounded in the text read, is that the Chapter 150 building-permit process itself carves fences out.
