Action Fence Company of Chattanooga, family-owned since 1981, installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and farm fence in Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, from our office in Hixson, about 40 minutes away. Cleveland's zoning allows only open fences up to 4 feet within 15 feet of a public street, and wood or masonry privacy fence up to 8 feet behind the front of the house.
Do I Need a Fence Permit in Cleveland?
The city's Building Division confirms the permit step, and the zoning rules on placement are specific either way. Within 15 feet of a public street, only open styles up to 4 feet (wrought iron, split rail, open chain link) or masonry up to 2.5 feet are allowed; privacy fence there needs the Public Works Director's approval. Behind the front of the house, wood or masonry privacy fence is allowed up to 8 feet. Historic districts have their own rules, and electric fences are prohibited.

Can I put a privacy fence in my front yard in Cleveland?
Not within 15 feet of the street without the Public Works Director's approval. The city allows only open styles up to 4 feet there. Privacy fence goes behind the front line of the house, where it can run up to 8 feet.
Do you work in the Ocoee Street historic district?
Yes. Historic districts have their own fence rules, and we build to them: picket and ornamental styles in front, with privacy fence set back where it's allowed.
