I have an existing 5 foot high, 4 inch block fence with columns every 13 feet or so. Can I raise the height of the fence and do I need a permit?

The 4-inch block fence is approved when installed no higher than 6 feet as measured on the owner’s side of the fence. A 5-foot fence may be raised, but may not exceed 6 feet. If you are planning to do this, a permit is required. Once the fence has been raised, a final inspection would be requested (#39 on the green job card) so the inspector can verify the height of the fence.
