Where are my property lines?
The best way to locate your property lines is to contact a licensed land surveyor. If your property was previously platted or surveyed, there should be a property pin in the ground at the corners (often a stick of rebar with a cap, but it could be other things). The city has copies of previous plats, but these are for reference only. We are not licensed surveyors and will not locate property lines for you.

Do I need a permit for a fence?
In most cases, no permit is required. However, if the fence is more than six feet tall, a permit is required. Fences can be built on the property line, but the height of the fence must be reviewed for compliance within the given zoning district. The rule of thumb is a six-foot-tall fence is allowed in rear and side yards while a four-foot-tall fence is the maximum height in the front yard, except vision triangles where the max height is three feet.

If my home or building is destroyed, can it be rebuilt or replaced?
If the use is permitted, it can be rebuilt or replaced at any time with proper building permits. If the use is considered to be a legal non-conforming use, it may be replaced provided it is done with proper building permits within one year from the date it was destroyed . Contact the
Planning Division
for more specific information.
