Visibility triangle ��� 3 feet Portland, Oregon A building permit is required when building a fence taller than six feet. The height is measured from the ground where the posts or supports enter the ground to the top of the fence, including any lattice, posts or any other material added to the top. Fences under six feet tall do not need a building permit but may need a zoning permit, depending on where the fence will be located on the lot. If you are hiring contractors to do work on your project, and know who they are when applying, they will be listed on your permit at that time. If you don���t know when you apply for your permit, they can be added after issuance. Contractors you hire must be registered with the State of Oregon and carry a current CCB license. Important things to consider when planning the project: ��� Fences may be built on private property, so long as they meet certain height and setback requirements. A setback is the distance measured from your property line to a point inside the property. A setback creates a border inside your property lines. Setback requirements are different in each residential zone. A front setback is usually larger than the side and rear setbacks. For purposes of determining setback, the front is the side that borders a street. On a corner lot, the front is the shortest side of the lot that borders a street. If the street frontages are of equal length, you may choose which to call the front. ��� If you are planning to build a fence in your front yard, call the Portland Bureau of Transportation/Engineering for help in locating property lines along a street. Property lines that divide your lot from your neighbors may be harder to find. ��� Structural engineering. Fences taller than six feet measured from the owner���s side at grade level must be built to resist winds. ��� Pressure treated materials. Any part of a wood fence that touches concrete or that is within six inches of the ground must be pressure-treated wood or wood that is naturally resistant to decay, such as cedar or redwood. Pressure treated wood installed below grade must be stamped as approved for ground contact.
