Do I need a permit for a fence repair in Norristown?

While considering to repair a fence in Norristown, you should know a zoning permit may be required.  If the fence repair is significant and requires a fence contractor to take down and rebuild the fence, Norristown requires a permit.  If the fence repair is small, such as replacing a few pickets to a wood fence, a permit is not required in Norristown. While the permit is the homeowner’s responsibility, often times fence contractors will take care of the permit process for you. To make the process easier for you, we have provided a link below to Norristown borough’s fence permit application. Paramount Fencing Inc. will take care of the drawings for you and all you need to do is fill out some basic information.

What styles of fence can I install in Norristown?

Norristown borough does not have many restrictions when it comes to the style a fence contractor can install.  Norristown does ban barbed wire fence, razor wire fence, and electric fences.  If you live within the borough of Norristown, your back yard fence cannot be taller than 6 feet high and the front yard fence cannot be taller than 4 feet high. If you are looking for a fence to provide privacy, vinyl fencing and wood fences are a good choice.  Keep in mind that when installing a wood fence, the finished side must face the neighbor’s property.  All structural beams must face your house.  If you would like to hide the structural beams, double sided privacy wood fences or shadow box wood fencing are great alternatives to a standard stick built wood fence.

In the front yard installing a vinyl picket fence, wood picket fence, or a stockade fence is a great way to stay within the height restriction without blocking any views.  If you live on a corner lot make sure to leave a clear sight triangle of 75 feet from the fence to the intersection. A fence contractor, such as Paramount Fencing Inc., can help walk you through all of these rules.

How can I locate my property lines in Norristown, PA?

When pursuing a fence repair, it is always a good idea to double check your property lines.

Now, all of that said, downtown Norristown is typically a bit more difficult. This is due to the amount of construction, replacing sidewalks and etc. in this historic area. As fence contractors, Paramount Fencing, Inc. does work with a surveyor that “typically” charges $550 for a property less than a half of an acre.
