Livonia Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Livonia.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
No fence is allowed in the front yard or anywhere forward of the front of your house. The only exception is a decorative landscape treatment (not chain link) up to 30 in. tall, no more than 40 ft long, placed at least 2 ft off the sidewalk.
SSide Yard
A standard side-yard fence may be up to 4 ft tall. A privacy fence in the side yard may be up to 6 ft 4 in. but cannot extend forward past the back wall of the house, and requires written consent from the adjacent neighbor.
BBackyard
Privacy fences in the rear yard may be up to 6 ft 4 in. tall. Dog runs are allowed in the rear yard only, with a maximum height of 6 ft and a maximum area of 200 sq ft.
Permit Requirements
Yes. A zoning permit is required for any fence, and for any re-erecting, altering, relocating, or major repair. For privacy fences you must also submit a signed authorization form from adjacent neighbors. Apply through BS&A Online.
Setback Requirements
No fence may be placed within 2 ft of a side lot line that is next to a neighbor's driveway. At street corners, nothing over 30 in. is allowed within a 25 ft sight-triangle. Posts face inward toward your yard.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Only one fence is allowed between any two properties; a new privacy fence means the existing one must come down. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electric fences are prohibited, and chain-link fences may not have privacy slats.
HOA Considerations
Some Livonia neighborhoods have civic or neighborhood associations that must approve your fence before the city will issue the permit, so check yours first.
