Permit takeaway

Fayetteville lists same-day permit qualifying projects including fences over seven feet, accessory buildings, window or door replacement, porch or patio covers, swimming pools, decks, detached garages and carports, and solar panels.

Zoning and placement

Projects are routed to regular review if they involve HHOD, floodplain, more than 1200 square feet proposed, a proposed driveway, PZD zoning, or attached garages.

Building and trade review

Fences seven feet tall or less do not require a building permit, but fences cannot impede vision between vehicular or pedestrian traffic and may face overlay restrictions.

Call before applying when

Call before applying if the project is in a floodplain, historic or overlay district, exceeds 1200 square feet, adds a driveway, includes an attached garage, or involves a fence near seven feet tall.
