What Applies at the County Level
No building permit required for fences in unincorporated Del
The county's own Building Ordinance explicitly excludes fences from its building-permit requirement: the ordinance states that no person may erect, construct, enlarge, or structurally alter any building or structure, "other than fences and farm service buildings," without complying with the code, meaning fences are categorically outside the scope of the county's building-permit authority entirely, a stronger and more explicit exemption than a simple height-based threshold. This applies specifically to unincorporated Delaware County, excluding Muncie, Yorktown, Albany, Daleville, Eaton, Gaston, and Selma, which administer their own separate rules.
