Dependable Fence Contractors in Toledo

The City of Toledo requires a certificate of zoning compliance for every fence. In residential zones, front yard fences are limited to 3.5 feet and side and rear yard fences to 6 feet. A repair of 100 square feet or less that matches the existing fence needs no certificate.

Yes, in Toledo a fence may sit on the property line. The city says a fence has no setback requirement and may be installed on the property line at the right height. Other towns set their own rules, so check yours first. Toledo also advises hiring a professional surveyor when you are unsure where the line is.

The length of the fence, the material, and the height set the price. One cost guide, Bob Vila, updated in April 2024 and citing HomeAdvisor figures, lists a national average of $3,059 and a range of $1,743 to $4,431 for fence installation. When a fence is part of a larger home remodeling plan, it is still priced by its own length, material, and height.

Yes, a call is required before the post holes are dug. Ohio law requires the person doing the digging to notify OHIO811 at least two working days, and no more than 16 calendar days, before digging. In Michigan, MISS DIG 811 asks for notice at least three business days ahead, and fence installation is one of its listed projects. The same call applies before deck building footings go in.

Posts need to be set deep enough that frost cannot lift them. Soil that freezes and thaws pushes shallow posts out of line, which is why deck footings reach below the frost line. Ask your town for the required post depth.

The timeline depends on the length of the fence, the material, and the permits your town requires. Fence work is sometimes scheduled around a deck or remodeling project.
