Fence permit requirements vary by municipality. Kingston requires building permits for all fences; Woodstock and many rural towns do not require permits for fences under 6 feet.
Kingston requires a building permit for any fence, obtained through the Building Safety Division, with fees around $50 to $100. Woodstock does not require a permit for fences at or below 6 feet but requires one for taller fences and all pool fences. New Paltz Village requires a zoning permit for all fences. Pool fencing always requires a permit under NY Building Code statewide. Historic district properties in Kingston and Saugerties need additional review.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
