Important notes
- Permit requirements can change. Always verify with your city or county before starting your project.
- If your property is in an HOA, the HOA may have its own fence approval process, separate from any city permit.
- Thomas Fence does not pull permits for customers. Each homeowner is responsible for getting their own permit. We are happy to help you understand the process.
