- The zoning code (§ 340-109/340-110) has development permits and certificates of zoning compliance issued by the Zoning Administrator, with fees set by the Common Council, but does not say whether a fence needs one. The City building code (ecode360) lists permits for retaining walls, towers and plumbing, not fences.
