Common Questions
Fence Questions From LaFayette
Something else on your mind? Call (423) 842-8700 and ask.
Can I use barbed wire on my LaFayette property?
Not in a residential zoning district inside the city. Outside the city limits, Walker County's rules apply, and we confirm them for your parcel. For horses, rail and no-climb mesh is a safer choice than barbed wire anyway.
What fence suits a cattle operation in Walker County?
Woven-wire field fence with a wood top rail, braced corners, and H-braces at the gates, with farm gates where you need them.
How tall can a residential fence be?
Eight feet inside the city, with the corner sight triangle kept clear. We confirm county rules for parcels outside the limits.
