I want to install a fence.

Copley Township does not issue permits for residential fences, however, we do apply standards for fence structures. 

A residential fence may not exceed (6) feet in overall height and must be located no closer than (10) feet from the Road Right-of-Way. Please note that if you are on a corner lot, you must meet the (10) setback from Right-of-Way on both roads.



GENERAL DISCLAIMER:  We recommend that you review Home Owner Association standards and/or Deed Restrictions where applicable.
