Grosse Ile Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Grosse Ile.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
Fences may not extend forward of the front face of your house toward the street. On very large lots (2+ acres with at least 200 ft of frontage), a 4 ft fence is allowed in the front yard only if it sits at least 40 ft back from the front property line.
SSide Yard
If your fence is within 6 ft of the property line, it can be up to 4 ft tall. If it's set at least 6 ft off the line, it can go up to 6 ft. Fences cannot extend forward of the front of your house.
BBackyard
Same as side yards: up to 4 ft if within 6 ft of the property line, up to 6 ft if set at least 6 ft off the line.
Permit Requirements
Yes. A permit is required for every fence, no exceptions. Apply online through the Township's BS&A portal or through the Building Department. The Township may require a licensed surveyor to stake your lot lines before the permit is issued.
Setback Requirements
Your fence must sit entirely on your own property, with posts on your side and the finished side facing the neighbor. Corner lots must keep the intersection sight-triangle clear.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
No barbed wire or electric fences anywhere on Grosse Ile. Decorative landscape fences that don't enclose the property may be allowed under 4 ft using architecturally treated materials.
HOA Considerations
Grosse Ile subdivisions often have HOA rules stricter than the township ordinance, especially around fence styles and materials, so check yours first.
