Start with the right property information

Bring the parcel address, proposed fence and gate layout, material and height. Identify the street right-of-way and any shared boundary where the fence will run. The township lists mail or in-person application instructions and does not accept building-permit applications by email.

Fence permits in LaSalle Township

New fences and fence alterations require Building Inspector approval.

What the official guidance says

Section 5.37 addresses fence placement, materials and visibility. For a fence along a shared property line, the applicant must locate the property pins or obtain a certified boundary survey. A parcel overlay or online fence sketch does not replace that requirement. Residential provisions also address the finished side facing neighboring properties. Review the applicable height and street-facing layout with the inspector before choosing the final design.

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.
