Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Huntsville?
According to the City's FAQ, fences inside city limits do not need a building permit, except that Historic District properties need HPC approval. Zoning, corner-visibility, floodplain and HOA rules can still apply.
Can I use barbed wire on a residential lot?
No. The City's fence ordinance prohibits barbed, razor and electric fencing on residentially zoned lots.
Who marks underground utilities?
Alabama 811. A contractor should request locates before digging post holes.
Are you the contractor?
No. Huntsville Fencing Pros is an independent referral/matching service. Independent local businesses quote and perform the work, and we may be paid for introductions.
Is there a cost to request quotes?
No cost to homeowners for an introduction. Any contractor price is between you and that contractor.
