The homeowner is responsible for filing the permit.  Paramount Fencing will take care of the drawings for you and then you have a few line items to fill out. 

Generally, a fence may not exceed 6′ in height in Haverford Township.  There are additional requirements such as:

Corner lots are permitted to be fenced along the secondary front yard, as determined by the Zoning Officer. However, no solid fence shall be permitted to be erected along a secondary front yard within five feet from the street right-of-way or a public sidewalk, whichever is greater, where the end of the proposed fence is located less than 20 feet from an existing driveway, intersecting street or alley.

Solid fences are permitted to be placed along the rear yard property lines on all properties, and along the side yard property lines of a property with a minimum width as measured at the building line of 50 feet. For properties whose width is less than 50 feet at the building line, fences placed along the side property lines may not exceed six feet in height; provided, however, that the portion of the fence between five feet in height and six feet in height shall be at least 50% open.

Paramount Fencing Inc. works with a surveying company on the regular basis but in many situations, we are able to locate a few of the pins and use the county tax map to mark the remaining lines.
