Other rules to know
- The Village's Permits page lists a Fence Permit Application. Its fence ordinance (Chapter VIII, Building Code) is posted on the Ordinances & Resolutions page, but neither document could be read for this update, so the rules are not listed here.
- Village FAQ: a building permit is required for construction, repair, relocation, removal or demolition of a building or structure; the fee is based on construction cost, and work may not legally begin before a permit is obtained.
Before you dig
Call Diggers Hotline at 811 (or file online at diggershotline.com) at least 3 business days before digging post holes. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
