Orland Park requires permits for new fences and major fence replacements. Residential fences are limited to 6 feet in rear and side yards, 4 feet in front yards (where allowed), with material restrictions and HOA approval typically required.
Fence permits in Orland Park are issued through Development Services. Standard residential fence height limits are 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards. Front yard fencing is heavily restricted in many zoning districts and HOA subdivisions, often prohibited entirely. Materials commonly restricted include barbed wire, electric fences (residential), and chain link in front yards. Corner lots have two front yards subject to front-yard rules. The finished side of a fence must typically face neighboring properties. Pool fencing must comply with the village swimming pool code (typically 5-foot minimum height with self-closing self-latching gates). HOA architectural review committees almost always require pre-approval of fence applications addressing height, style, color, and material. Permit applications include site plan, fence specifications, and (where required) HOA approval letter.
Fences built without permit: stop-work order, removal at owner expense, $250-$1,000 fines. Non-conforming height or material: required modification or removal.
