Fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a building permit in Huntersville, but a zoning compliance review may be required in historic and overlay districts. Fences over 6 feet always require a permit.
The Huntersville Planning Department issues zoning verification letters for fence projects in the Historic District, Town Center, and Transit Oriented Development overlay zones even when a building permit is not needed. Standard residential fences at or below 6 feet in side and rear yards do not need a permit. Commercial and multifamily projects always require permits. HOA approval is separate from town permitting.
