Sumpter Township Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Sumpter Township.

BBackyard
Rear-yard fences in residential districts may be up to 6 ft tall, and solid privacy styles are fine in the back. On waterfront lots, fencing between the back of the house and the shoreline must be at least 80 percent open.
Permit Requirements
Yes. Sumpter Township requires a separate fence permit through the Building Department at 23480 Sumpter Rd, Belleville, with a plot plan showing the fence location. Contractors must be registered with the township.
Setback Requirements
Fences may sit on the property line if they do not interfere with underground utilities and do not extend onto the neighbor's property. Keep fences out of road rights-of-way, access easements, and the clear-vision area at intersections.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
The finished side of a privacy fence faces the neighbor. Barbed wire, spikes, and electric fencing are prohibited except for agricultural operations, and dog runs must be at least 20 ft from property lines and not in the front yard.
HOA Considerations
Some Sumpter Township subdivisions have HOA rules on materials, colors, or heights that are stricter than the township ordinance, so review your documents before you choose a fence.
