A site plan showing the fence location needs to accompany application. If your house was built after 1995, there should be a Foundation (As-Built) Location Plan on file with the building permit for the home and this document should be used for the site plan. If you do not have a copy we will gladly get one for you. If As-Built Plan is not available, take 8.5” x 11” piece of paper and draw approximate location of property lines, home, driveway, other buildings or structures and fence location. For information on your property, go to: www.lehighcounty.org, under Departments – Assessment, then Search Records and Property Address. Type in your address and a property profile is available.
A fence may not be placed in any active easement or right of way. PP&L, Buckeye Pipeline and other companies may give written permission to locate in easement or right of way depending on height and location.
