Do I need a permit to build a fence?

No building permit is required for the construction of a fence. But the placement needs to comply with the Plainfield Zoning ordinance, please contact the Zoning Department at 317-754-5376 for those requirements. Basically a fence should not interfere or negatively affect the intended purpose or use of an easement. (Restrictive Covenants may be applicable, check with your Homeowners Association)
