A fence permit is required to install any type of fence in Montgomery County.

Replacement of an existing fence originally installed with a fence permit, (with the same kind of fence in the same location at the same height) does not require a fence permit. If an existing fence was not installed with a fence permit, the replacement fence must have a fence permit.

If a new fence is going to be installed in a side yard or front yard abutting a County maintained roadway, the permittee must contact the Right of Way Inspector.

DPS is no longer accepting paper permit applications or plans. Information must be submitted using our eServices programs. For assistance with eServices, email [email protected].
