Action Fence Company of Chattanooga, family-owned since 1981, installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and farm fence in Chickamauga, Walker County, Georgia, from our office in Hixson, about 35 to 40 minutes away. Chickamauga's zoning ordinance caps residential fences at 6 feet in front, side, and rear yards and lists fences under building permits.
Do I Need a Fence Permit in Chickamauga?
Yes, as the city's zoning ordinance reads: it lists fences among the things that need a building permit. It caps residential fences at 6 feet in front, side, and rear yards, and corner lots keep anything between 2 and 12 feet tall out of 25 feet from the intersection. The US-27 overlay district for commercial property doesn't allow chain link or barbed wire. We confirm the permit with City Hall for each job.
What Is the Ground Like in Chickamauga?
Spring-fed low ground at the foot of Lookout Mountain. Crawfish Spring pours about 14 million gallons a day out of a dolomite hill in the middle of town, McLemore Cove begins about 3 miles south, and the city has a flood damage prevention ordinance for the low ground.
