Romeoville requires a permit before any fence, wall, retaining wall, or hedge is installed, replaced, altered, or moved (§159.035). Contact the Building Division at 815-886-7200 for permit applications and requirements. A plat of survey showing the proposed fence location is typically required.
Romeoville's permit requirements for fences are straightforward: standard wood, vinyl, or chain-link fences within height limits (4 feet front yard, 6 feet side/rear) are exempt from building permits in most city limits. Permits are required for fences exceeding 6 feet, masonry or stone walls, electric fences, fences with concrete foundations deeper than 18 inches, and fences within easements or floodplains. Fence installation must not obstruct drainage or utility access. Property owners should verify the property line through a survey before installing boundary fences to avoid encroachment disputes.
Building a fence requiring a permit without one results in a stop-work order and a double permit fee plus a $100 administrative penalty. Non-conforming fences must be brought into compliance or removed.
