Plymouth Township Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Plymouth Township.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
Protective fences may not extend beyond the front building line of the house. Decorative fences, such as picket or split rail, are limited to 4 ft and must stay at least 2 ft from the street right-of-way. Check with the township before planning any fence forward of the house.
SSide Yard
A 6 ft fence may not be closer to the street than the midpoint of the side of the house nearest the street. Between that midpoint and the front building line, fences are limited to 4 ft. The township may allow a 6 ft fence past the midpoint to enclose a side entry door.
BBackyard
Protective or security fences in the rear yard may be up to 6 ft tall, and a privacy screen around a rear patio or outdoor living area may also be up to 6 ft. Pools need a barrier that meets the township's pool requirements.
Permit Requirements
Yes. The township zoning ordinance requires a building and/or zoning compliance permit from the township before you build, repair, or relocate a fence in single-family districts. Apply through the Building Department; permits usually include at least a rough and a final inspection. Confirm current rules with the Building Department before you build.
Setback Requirements
On corner lots, one street side is treated as the front yard. On the other street side, the fence may run along the rear line to no nearer than 20 ft from the side-street corner, angle in, and then follow a line 3 ft inside the side property line to the rear building line of the house. Lots backing onto a major road with a 120 ft right-of-way have a separate exception.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Chain link is limited to 4 ft and may not have privacy slats. Barbed wire, electric fences, and sharp or pointed projections are not allowed, and picket tops must meet a minimum angle. Used materials are allowed only if the township judges them sound.
HOA Considerations
Subdivision associations may have stricter rules than the township. Check yours before you apply.
