As of January 1, 2017, the City of Carmel requires Fence Permits for all new and replacement fences within the City Limits. As a general rule, any fence repair affecting over 50% of an existing fence will also require a permit.

If you are in doubt about whether a fence permit is required,
please contact our office weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at (317) 571-2475
or email Libby Brown at lbrown@carmel.in.gov
