Dearborn Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Dearborn.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
Fences in Dearborn enclose the rear yard — they are not permitted to run across the front of the property. Any fence must be at least 12 in. off the public sidewalk, and nothing may block the 25 ft sight line at street intersections.
SSide Yard
Residential side-yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall. A fence may extend along the side of the house to enclose a side door. Keep a 10 ft clear sight line at any driveway.
BBackyard
Residential rear-yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall (including any decorative post caps or finials). This applies even where your yard abuts a commercial district.
Permit Requirements
Yes — a fence permit is required and includes signed consent forms from every adjacent property owner. If a neighbor refuses to sign, a certified-mail notice process kicks in. Apply through Permit Services at City Hall.
Setback Requirements
Fences must be at least 12 in. off the sidewalk, keep a 10 ft sight line at driveways, and keep a 25 ft sight line at intersections. Only one fence is allowed per shared property line — the existing one must be removed first.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Allowed styles are chain-link, picket (wood, vinyl, or wrought iron), semi-private, and full privacy (wood or vinyl). Picket finials must be blunt, ball-type, or 90° — no sharp points. Ford Homes Historical District and the Dearborn Hills, Springwells Park, and West Lane civic associations require their own review before the city permit is issued.
HOA Considerations
If you're in one of the recognized civic-association or historic areas above, the association's written review is a required part of the permit. Other HOA covenants are enforced privately, not by the city.
