Action Fence Company of Chattanooga, family-owned since 1981, installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and farm fence in Collegedale, Hamilton County, Tennessee, from our office in Hixson, about 30 minutes away. Collegedale runs its own Building and Codes office, separate from Hamilton County, and asks for a permit before work starts.
Do I Need a Fence Permit in Collegedale?
Yes, check with the city first. Collegedale runs its own Building and Codes office at 4910 Swinyar Drive, separate from the county, and asks for a permit before work starts, with a double fee if work starts without one. The city also tells owners to check HOA and deed restrictions first. We confirm the current fence rules with the office for each job.
What Is the Ground Like in Collegedale?
Well-drained, cherty, limestone-derived soil in the Wolftever Creek valley, with the White Oak Mountain ridge to the east. The city publishes flood-hazard information for the Wolftever Creek Greenway corridor.
What Are Homes and Properties Like in Collegedale?
Mostly new: Collegedale grew 34 percent between 2010 and 2020, to 11,109 people, and new residential developments with HOAs make up much of that growth. The median home here was built very recently.
Which Fences Suit Collegedale?
In a newer HOA subdivision, the covenant comes first: it sets the height, style, and color, and the city tells owners to check those restrictions before applying for a permit. Vinyl privacy fence needs no paint or stain. Black aluminum keeps a front yard or pool open to view and is built to the 48-inch pool-barrier rule with self-closing, self-latching gates. Wood privacy costs less up front and can be stained to match the house. On lots that back onto the Wolftever Creek Greenway, mapped flood hazard favors open styles like aluminum or chain link that let water pass, with every post set in concrete. Near drainage paths, the city's stormwater rules for single-family lots come into play too.
What Are the Landmarks in Collegedale?
Southern Adventist University, McKee Foods headquarters (home of Little Debbie), the Wolftever Creek Greenway, Little Debbie Park, and Collegedale Municipal Airport.

Common Questions
Fence Questions From Collegedale
Something else on your mind? Call (423) 842-8700 and ask.
Does Collegedale require a fence permit?
The city asks for a permit before work begins and doubles the fee if work starts without one. We confirm the current fence requirements with Building and Codes before every Collegedale job.
What fence suits a newer Collegedale subdivision?
Whatever your HOA allows. Covenants in Collegedale's newer developments set heights, styles, and colors, so start there. Vinyl privacy, wood privacy, and black aluminum are all fences we install.
Do you work near the greenway?
Yes. Lots along Wolftever Creek can sit in a mapped flood area, which affects post depth and material. We check the map and build accordingly.
Is Collegedale part of Ooltewah?
No. Collegedale is an incorporated city, founded in 1968, with its own Building and Codes office. Collegedale and unincorporated Ooltewah are interleaved, so we check which office covers your parcel before we quote.
Do stormwater rules affect my fence?
They can. The City of Collegedale publishes stormwater rules for single-family lots, and a fence across a drainage path can trap water and debris. We check the rules for your lot before we set the line.
