What Applies at the County Level
Madison County Planning Commission (unincorporated areas plu
The county's own Planning Commission page confirms its jurisdiction covers all unincorporated areas of Madison County and that it separately serves as the Building Commission for the Town of Orestes, a dual role combining advisory planning functions with direct building-permit authority for that one town. A general Indiana fence guide notes that nearly 70 percent of Indiana residents live under local zoning ordinances that vary by city and county, with a standard 6-foot privacy fence typical in most backyards and stricter limits in front yards, so the applicable figure for unincorporated Madison County should be confirmed with the Planning Commission directly.
