Fence Company Serving Greenfield, Indiana
Check the UDO
Greenfield is a city in Hancock County, east of Indianapolis on the corridor of towns that run out from the city. It is the county seat.
Greenfield's fence standards are in the city's Unified Development Ordinance — the UDO. That is the document the planning and building office works from, and it is where the permit, height and setback rules for your lot live. Rather than guess at a number that might not match your zoning, the right move is to call the city's planning and building office and ask what applies before you build. Above the Rest Fence builds and repairs fences for homes and businesses in Greenfield, and free estimates mean we look at the lot and check what the city needs before the first post goes in.
What to Ask the City
When you call Greenfield's planning and building office, ask three things: whether your lot needs a fence permit, what the height limits are for your yard, and whether the fence crosses a drainage or utility easement. The answers come from the UDO and the plat for your lot. See the fence rules for every town we serve for how Greenfield compares to the towns around it.
