Glasgow Fences ordinance (§ 405.320)

Open fencing (fencing which does not reasonably obstruct a viewer's vision of what is on the other side of the fence, and which can be constructed of any suitable material), can be placed on lot or property lines but only as per survey at the cost of the landowner desiring to erect the fence, except that adjoining landowners may by written consent agree to placement of the fence along their boundaries. Before any such fence is erected, including privacy fences permitted by Section 405.330, the landowner wishing to construct the fence must obtain a building permit, pursuant to Chapter 503, and show proof of survey or consent by adjoining landowners and the same must be approved by the City Building Inspector and appropriate permit fee paid. In lieu of a survey, if adjoining landowners agree, survey markers or pegs or pins previously established by a survey of the property may be used to determine the property lines for purposes of building a fence according to City Code.
