Northbrook Fencing FAQ
Everything you need to know about permits, codes, and installation in the Village.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Northbrook?
Yes. The Village of Northbrook requires a building permit for all new and replacement fences. We handle the digital submittal process for our clients, ensuring your Plat of Survey is correctly marked to meet Village standards.
Which side of the fence should face my neighbor?
Northbrook code follows the "finished side out" rule. This means the posts and horizontal rails must face your property, while the clean, decorative side must face your neighbor or the street. Our board-by-board builds ensure this is handled perfectly.
How deep do you dig your post holes?
To meet Northbrook's structural requirements and prevent frost heaving, we dig every post hole to a minimum depth of 42 inches. This ensures your fence stays level through the harsh North Shore winters.
Are there restrictions on fence height?
Typically, residential backyard fences are limited to 6 feet in height. However, front yard fences and fences near intersections have stricter "openness" and height requirements (usually 3-4 feet) to maintain visibility. We'll verify your specific lot requirements during our estimate.
