Novi Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Novi.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
On most residential lots, fences may run from the rear yard along the side yards only as far forward as the minimum front-yard setback. If your house already sits inside that setback, the fence may extend to the front of the house. Lots over 2 acres, or with at least 200 ft of frontage in a recorded plat, may have a front-yard fence up to 6 ft.
SSide Yard
Side-yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall and may extend toward the front of the house up to the minimum front-yard setback.
BBackyard
Rear-yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall. Pools must be enclosed by a barrier that meets the Michigan Residential Code pool requirements; the city's pool permit handout covers the details.
Permit Requirements
The City of Novi's Residential Fence Requirements sheet sets height, location, and material rules but does not describe a separate fence permit. Pool barriers are reviewed with the pool permit. Rules can change, so confirm current requirements with the Community Development Department at (248) 347-0415 before you build.
Setback Requirements
Fences must be on your own property, and it is up to the homeowner to confirm where the property lines are; the city does not provide survey services or settle line disputes. On waterfront lots, front-yard fences are limited to 4 ft and must not block the view of the lake.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Along a property line under 150 ft long, a fence must use uniform materials, finish, and color, and the more decorative side must face out. Barbed wire, electric fences, scrap materials, chicken wire or fine mesh, and corrugated or sheet metal are not allowed, and fences must be kept in good repair.
HOA Considerations
Many Novi subdivisions have HOA rules that are stricter than city code, and the city's guidelines say fences must be approved by the HOA where one applies. Get HOA approval before you schedule installation.
