Joliet Fence and Plat of Survey Permit Guide

Joliet fence permits require an accurate plat of survey with proposed fence placement clearly marked, and incomplete applications are returned.

Permit takeaway

Joliet requires a fence permit application and an accurate plat of survey marked with the proposed fence placement before review.

Zoning and placement

Fence placement is reviewed against property lines, easements, visibility, lot conditions, and local fence standards before approval.

Building and trade review

Joliet charges fence permit fees by application and sends an invoice after approval before the permit can be issued.

Call before applying when

Call before applying if the fence is on a corner lot, near an easement, replacing or adding sections, close to a driveway or alley, or if you do not have a current plat of survey.
