Wilmette Fence Installation Permit Process

For the protection of the property owner, the neighbors, and the Village, Wilmette requires property owners to apply for permits prior to the commencement of work on the property. If a permit is not obtained: the work will be stopped until a permit is issued, a surcharge will be added to the cost of the permit, and any work performed without a permit may be subject to removal at the inspector’s determination.

The Village reserves the right to review and require a permit for any proposed work.

Fences, posts, arbors, trellises (new and repair) require permits. 

For questions contact the Village Building Department at (847) 853-7550

The process from start to finish with Fenceworks exceeded our expectations. Sandy came to our home and provided us with a thorough understanding of the options on styles of fence, materials and cost. We are thrilled with our fence, which we know will stand the test of time, and know we made the right decision choosing Fenceworks.

Love that Fenceworks is family owned and offers seamless customer service. We bought a trampoline from them in 2006 and after our 4 children outgrew it, the trampoline moved to our neighbor's house, and now we just bought a new safety net and the trampoline is moving to our daughter and son-in-law's house for their kids to enjoy. Thank you for the personalized customer service and for sticking with us and the trampoline three homes later.

How long does fence installation take in Wilmette?

Most residential projects are completed within several days, depending on material, yard conditions, and permit timing.

Do you handle permits in Wilmette?

Yes. Wilmette requires a permit before work begins on fences, posts, arbors, and trellises, for new installations and repairs alike. Work started without one can be stopped, surcharged, or ordered removed, so we handle the application with the Village Building Department up front.

What fence materials are most popular locally?

Cedar for privacy and traditional character, vinyl and PVC for low maintenance, and aluminum for open, decorative boundaries. Composite and chain-link are also available.
