| F Fences
The City of Brentwood enforces
certain standards for the construction and maintenance of fences and
screening walls. The standards
address the materials and types of
installations permitted, height/design limitations, and prohibited areas
such as public utility and drainage easements, etc. Fences installed in the
flood plain must be approved by the Planning Commission. While no permits
are required for
installation of standard type fences in residential
districts, residents are strongly encouraged to review the requirements
established in
Section 78-10 of the Municipal Code. The code is available
for your review at the city’s web page www.brentwood-tn.org under the
Legal
Department. In addition, residents should confirm that the type and
placement of the proposed fence will comply with the restrictive covenants
and other regulations in force for the subdivision or development. Call the
Planning and Codes Department at 371-2204
