Shed and Fence

Postby Ted_Skinner on Tue Jun 05, 2012 7:29 pm

All,

When replacing/repairing a shed or fencing, do I need to obtain a CA first?

I'm thinking about completely tearing down the shed in the back of the house. It has fire damage from a previous owner that makes it vulnerable to thieves. In fact they've already struck twice. It's also starting to go down on its own.

My backyard fence faces a similar fate. Several pickets have fallen either through old age, falling tree branches, or animals (yes, animals).

At some point, I was told that you only need a CA if making changes to the front facade of the home. True/False?

Thanks

You need a CA and a building permit for any exterior work on your property including out buildings and fences.
