Jenks may require permits for fence construction depending on height and type. Ornamental front-yard fencing requires a special exception from the Board of Adjustment. The city has adopted building codes under Chapter 4, Article 1. Contact Planning & Zoning for specific permit requirements before starting construction.
Most Oklahoma cities exempt standard residential fences (wood, vinyl, chain-link under 6 to 8 feet) from building permits. Masonry and concrete fences may require structural permits. Fences over 8 feet require permits. Pool barrier fences must meet building code. Check property line and easements before building - utility and oil/gas easements may restrict fence placement. HOAs require separate approval.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
