Do You Need a Fence Permit in Westborough, MA?
In Westborough, most fence installations require a building permit from the Building Department. Generally, fences over 6 feet tall require a permit, and fences on corner lots may have additional restrictions due to sight-line regulations for traffic safety.
Property owners should also check for any utility easements or underground utility lines (Call 811 before you dig) before installation. If your property is part of a homeowners association, you may need HOA approval as well.
At Able Fence Co., we're familiar with Westborough's local fencing requirements and can help guide you through the process. We recommend contacting the Westborough Building Department at Westborough Town Hall, 34 West Main Street, to confirm current permit requirements for your specific property.
*Note: Rules can change — always verify with your local building department before starting your project.*
