Biloxi Mississippi Fence Permit Guide

Biloxi requires fence permits for new, repaired, or replaced fences, with application review for setbacks, flood zones, AHRC, Planning Commission, current zoning, use, and finished-side requirements.

Permit takeaway

Biloxi reminds residents repairing or replacing fences to obtain a required city permit, and its fence permit application covers proposed work, contractor information, setbacks, flood zones, and review hearings.

Zoning and placement

The fence permit application checks front, back, left, and right setbacks, current zoning, current and proposed use, impervious percentage, floodway status, and AHRC or Planning Commission hearing needs.

Building and trade review

Biloxi notes that the more finished side of a fence or wall should face the part of the lot fronting or exposed to a city street or right-of-way.

Call before applying when

Call before applying if the property is in a FEMA flood zone, historic area, near a right-of-way, requires Planning Commission review, or if the fence is being repaired after storm damage.
