Garner permits for decks and fences

Garner's rules, from the Town's planning page:

  • Fences need a Zoning Compliance Permit (ZCP - Fence) through the Town's permit portal.
  • In residential districts: fences up to 4 ft in front and corner side yards; solid fences up to 6 ft in side and rear yards; open fences like chain link or split rail at any sound height in side and rear yards. A solid 8 ft back fence needs a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
  • There is no fence setback, but the Town recommends 6 inches inside your line. No fences in access or utility easements.
  • A pool must be fully fenced at least 4 ft high.
  • Decks: Town of Garner Inspections issues building permits inside town limits and the ETJ. Garner addresses that pay Johnston County taxes are regulated by Johnston County.

We call 811 before we dig any footing or post hole. North Carolina law asks for at least three full working days' notice so utilities can mark their lines.
