CITY OR TOWNSHIP?
Plymouth City Lots vs. Plymouth Township Yards
Plymouth and Plymouth Township share a name and a mailing address, but they are separate governments with separate building departments. A home a few blocks from Kellogg Park permits through the city; a subdivision home a mile out may permit through the township. We confirm which one covers your address, check its fence rules and file for you. Most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3–4 feet; we confirm your lot’s rules before quoting.
In-town lots are narrow, often with a detached garage at the back and little room for equipment, so we plan gate widths for mowers and bins and keep the work tidy for neighbors. Cedar picket or black aluminum suits the front. Township lots are larger and more likely to have HOA rules, where vinyl privacy is the common approved choice and chain link works for dog runs. Every post goes 42 inches deep.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Plymouth Fence Questions
What Plymouth and Plymouth Township homeowners ask.
Do I get my fence permit from Plymouth or Plymouth Township?
It depends on your parcel. The city and township have separate building departments. We look up your address, confirm the right office and file the permit.
What fence fits an older home near downtown Plymouth?
Cedar picket or black ornamental aluminum in front, with shadowbox cedar or vinyl privacy behind the front line of the house.
Can you work on a narrow lot with a detached garage?
Yes. We plan post locations and gates around the garage and keep access clear for mowers and bins. Most in-town jobs need no heavy equipment in the yard.
How long does a fence take in Plymouth?
The build is usually one to three days. Permit and any HOA approval generally take one to three weeks.
