A site plan showing the fence location needs to accompany application. If your house was built after 1995, there should be a Foundation (As-Built) Location Plan on file with the building permit for the home and this document should be used for the site plan. If you do not have a copy we will gladly get one for you. If As-Built Plan is not available, take 8.5” x 11” piece of paper and draw approximate location of property lines, home, driveway, other buildings or structures and fence location. For information on your property, visit the Lehigh County Assessment website, type in your address, and a property profile is available.

A fence may not be placed in any active easement or right of way. PP&L, Buckeye Pipeline and other companies may give written permission to locate in easement or right of way depending on height and location.
