A fence permit is generally required in Shawnee to confirm height, location and setback compliance before installation; pool barrier fences must meet building-code requirements.
Unlike cities that only permit unusual fences, Shawnee generally requires a fence permit before installation — the review confirms height, location and setback compliance up front rather than after a complaint. It's a modest step that prevents the expensive version of the problem: tearing out a fence built too tall or across a setback. Pool fences carry an additional layer, needing to meet building-code barrier requirements. Codes and planning handle the reviews; apply before setting posts.
