Most Nassau municipalities require a building permit for any fence, even if under 6 feet. Permit fees range from 50 to 200 dollars. Fences in floodplains or historic districts require additional review.
Hempstead Town Building Department, North Hempstead Department of Buildings, Oyster Bay Building Division, and Glen Cove and Long Beach Building Departments all issue fence permits. Most villages also require their own permits. Permit applications typically require a site survey showing the fence location, materials, and height. Fences on lots within FEMA SFHA may need floodplain administrator review to avoid blocking floodwater flow.
Building without a permit: typical 250 to 1,000 dollar fine plus stop-work order. Non-conforming fences may require removal.
