South Lyon Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in South Lyon.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
Front-yard fences are limited to 3 ft tall and must be less than 49% solid, meaning at least half the surface must be see-through. Only wrought iron (or tubular aluminum), wood picket, or vinyl picket styles are permitted; solid privacy panels are not allowed in the front yard.
SSide Yard
Side-yard fences behind the front wall of the house may be up to 6 ft tall. On a corner lot, the exterior side yard (facing the side street) is treated like a second front yard and is capped at 4 ft.
BBackyard
Back-yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall. All supporting posts, rails, and hardware must face the inside of your lot; the finished side faces outward or the fence is designed so both sides look finished.
Permit Requirements
Yes. A building permit through the City of South Lyon Building Department is required before installation. You'll submit a site plan showing fence location relative to property lines.
Setback Requirements
No fence may be placed inside a public right-of-way or a utility/drainage easement. Fences must not block motorists' view exiting driveways. Corner lots follow front-yard setback rules on both street sides.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Underground invisible pet fences are allowed in all districts. Chain link is not allowed in the front or exterior side yard of non-industrial properties (with a limited retention-pond exception).
HOA Considerations
If your subdivision has an HOA, review your deed restrictions separately; HOA rules may be stricter than city standards.
