What Applies at the County Level
Tippecanoe County Area Plan Commission (zoning oversight); n
The county's own FAQ and a dedicated official Fence Brochure both confirm that fences are not regulated by the Tippecanoe County Unified Zoning Ordinance at all, and that no building permit is required for a fence anywhere within the county or the city limits of Lafayette, West Lafayette, Battle Ground, Dayton, or Clarks Hill, a uniform no-permit rule across the entire county and all its municipalities. Despite the absence of a permit, specific rules still apply regardless of location: a fence cannot block a driver's vision at an intersection, a fence surrounding a swimming pool must be at least 5 feet high, and no fence may exceed 42 inches within a street frontage setback.
