Other rules to know
- The Town Zoning Ordinance (dated 9/5/2007, posted by Wood County) has no fence section. §14.01(1) requires a permit from the Zoning Administrator to build "any building, structure ... or any part thereof", and "structure" is defined as "Anything constructed or erected" — but the ordinance does not name fences, and its definition of "minor structure" includes "walls and fences under four feet in height".
- Permit fee: $3.00 per $1,000 of estimated cost, or $15.00, whichever is greater (§14.02(1)); double fee for work started without a permit.
- Footnote 2 to §6.01 bars any "structure" within 42 ft of a road right-of-way; whether this covers fences is not stated.
- No Town of Cameron (Wood County) website was found; the townofcameron.com site is Cameron, North Carolina.
- Within 300 ft of a river or navigable stream or 1,000 ft of a lake, Wood County Shoreland Zoning (Ord. #704) also applies; it lists fences as accessory structures. Ask Wood County Planning & Zoning (715-421-8466).
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.
