There are several things to consider when putting in a new fence

• Where can I put the fence? It is a common to look at the neighbors to see where the standard starting point for the fences are. This will help give a consistent look to your street. Please review YOUR property lines and do not let the fencing company make that decision for you. just because a neighbors fence is available please check to be sure they didn't have it moved in from their property line.
• Do I need to contact the city? At this time there are no city guidelines on fencing. There are however guidelines and restrictions listed in the HOA Covenants that restrict the type and size of fences within your particular plat.
• Do I need an architectural improvement form turned into the board? Yes you do. We will be able to help you with some of the details on what kind of fence is allowed in your area and even some information good or bad on contractors that have done work for other neighbors.
• Which way does the "GOOD" side of the fence need to face? Normally the good side of the fence faces away from your property. This will give your property better curb appeal and possibly increase the value even more. You may also consider a shadowbox type of fence that is the same on both sides.
• Am I required to do a "stake survey"? A stake survey is not required by the city or by the HOA. Be aware that if you construct a fence on a neighbors property you may be required by the city to move it back onto your property if the neighbor requests it be moved.
