Knightdale permits for decks and fences
Knightdale's rules, from the Town's pages:
- Fences: no Town permit. The Unified Development Ordinance, Section 7.6, still sets materials and heights. Fences stay on your property and out of public easements and sight triangles. A lot in a floodplain needs a floodplain development permit.
- Decks: building permits are filed in the Wake County Permit Portal, but Knightdale Development Services reviews, invoices and issues them. A scaled site plan is required for any new structure.
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.
