Fence Ordinances in Southfield Michigan

Below is a brief overview of the fence ordinances for Southfield Michigan. This is not a complete or definite list and should never be used in support of a dispute. Click here to review the complete document of codes and ordinances regarding fences in Southfield.

Design & Height Requirements

The city of Southfield Michigan has recently changed some of their fence ordinances. For the most part, all common fence types are allowed including; vinyl fencing, wood fencing, vinyl coated chain link fence (galvanized/silver chain link fencing is no longer allowed), aluminum fence, and composite fencings. Fence styles allowed include privacy fencing, picket fences, and ornamental fences.

If the fence that you are installing has a “finished side”, this finished side must face your adjacent neighbors rather than your own property. This means that the posts and rails of your fence must be installed on your side of the fence. All fences must also have their own support structure (ie: posts and rails) and cannot be fastened to an existing fence, with the exception of shared corner posts.

Stockade wood fencing (the cheap stuff) is not allowed to be installed within the city of Southfield. It is also important to note that galvanized chain link (the silver chain link fence you see everywhere) is no longer allowed. Instead you must install a vinyl coated chain link fence (this is the colored options).

Location Requirements

Fences can be installed around your entire back yard as well as along the sides of your house, but not extending beyond the front corners of your house. The maximum height for a backyard fence is 6 feet tall. You may however, install a fence in your front yard as long as it is not taller than 30-inches and not more than 16-ft in length.

If you live on a corner lot you must install your fence in the back/side yard only. you are not allowed to extend the fence beyond the front face of the house on the front or side of the house. This means that your fence cannot extend toward the sidewalk beyond the front/side corner of your home. If you are saying “but there are other fences near me that are all the way up to the sidewalk“, it is likely because they were installed before this ordinance change. In our experience, the city will not allow an exception based on that argument.

Fence Repairs in Southfield Michigan

If you need a fence repair in Southfield, it is likely that you will not need to obtain a permit before doing the repair. This assumes that your repair is consisting of a small portion of the total fence and is not changing the location, type, style, color, etc. of the existing fence. If you would like to change any of these features, you will first be required to obtain a fence permit as it is no longer considered a fence repair project.

Property Stake Survey

A stake/property survey is required in order to apply for and obtain a fence permit. You must indicate on a copy of the survey where you plan to install the fence. Under some rare occasions the city may allow it to pass with neighbor signatures, but they are a bit strict with this one. Mortgage Surveys will not be accepted.

Specs of Proposed Fence

A photo and spec sheet of your proposed fence is required in order to apply for a fence permit. If you have a clear enough photo, you may be able to draw the specs onto your photo. If not, you will need to include a manufacturers spec sheet along with the photo of the proposed fence.
