Start with the right property information

First establish whether your parcel is reviewed by Dundee Township or the Village of Dundee. Then mark the intended fence runs, road edges and gate openings on your available survey. A corner property or an agricultural zoning designation can change which fence provisions apply.

This guide covers Dundee Township, Michigan. The Village of Dundee has a separate building and zoning authority; a Dundee mailing address alone does not determine which office reviews your fence.

We can compare privacy, open picket and rail styles with your priorities for pets, access and upkeep. Ask whether driven no-dig installation suits your chosen fence and site. Every job includes our 3-year workmanship warranty.

Monroe County, Michigan · LOCAL FENCE PLANNING

Fence permits in Dundee Township

Building Inspector approval is required to erect, construct or alter a fence under the township’s published section 5.33. Contact the Building Department before installation to confirm the application and inspections for your address.

What the official guidance says

Outside the AG and I districts, section 5.33 generally limits fences in required yards to 6 feet, with no more than 9 inches below the fence, unless special approval applies. It also addresses residential road rights-of-way and prohibits fences that block a driver’s view at a corner. Agricultural and industrial districts have separate provisions; confirm your zoning and any current amendments with the township.

Prepare for the permit conversation

Property address and parcel number.
Available survey and a sketch of fence runs, gates, buildings and street edges.
Proposed material, height and approximate length.
Any association instructions, easements or pool-barrier requirements.

This is a suggested preparation list; the local office determines the required application documents.
