Other rules to know
- The Town administers its own zoning. Its zoning ordinance (energyzoning.org archive) requires a Zoning Permit from the Zoning Officer for buildings other than minor structures; it lists 'open fences' as permitted within setback lines and vision triangles and exempts posts and wire fences that don't block visibility. No general fence section was found.
- Zoning permit fee: $100.00 (or as set by Town Board resolution); doubled if work starts before a permit.
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.
