Tinley Park requires a permit for new fence installation and significant fence replacement. Residential fence heights are typically limited to 4 feet in front yards (where permitted) and 6 feet in rear and interior side yards. Corner-lot fences must preserve clear sight triangles at intersections. Fences must be installed on the owner's side of the property line, with the finished side facing outward. Barbed wire and electrified fences are generally prohibited in residential districts. Pool fencing must meet Illinois swimming pool barrier requirements. Permit applications require a site plan showing fence location, height, and materials. HOA architectural review often applies in addition. Easement restrictions may limit fence installation in utility or drainage easements.
