The City of Senatobia Zoning Ordinance strictly regulates fence height based on location. Fences built in the front yard (forward of the front building line) are restricted to a maximum of 4 feet above grade and must allow for visibility. Fences in the side and rear yards (behind the front building line) can be built up to a maximum of 6 feet in height. Our design team confirms these limits during your consultation to ensure your fence is fully compliant before construction begins. 

Yes, the City of Senatobia requires residents to apply for a building permit for new fence construction or significant replacement projects. This permit process ensures that the proposed fence adheres to all local zoning codes, including height, setback, and material standards. Our comprehensive service includes managing the entire application and submittal process with the City’s Building/Planning Department, minimizing administrative effort on your part and preventing potential project delays or stop-work orders. 

Senatobia’s hot, humid summers and wet seasons require highly durable materials. We strongly recommend Vinyl Fencing and Composite Fencing for their superior resistance to moisture, mildew, rot, and insects, offering the lowest maintenance over time. For wood, we use pressure-treated lumber sealed against moisture damage. Our aluminum options are rust-proof and designed to withstand high winds, ensuring your investment remains structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for decades. 

The Senatobia Zoning Ordinance specifies that the “finished side” or “attractive side” of the fence must face the exterior of the property (the street or neighboring property). This means the side with the smooth panels or best aesthetic appearance is directed outwards, while the structural posts or rails typically face inward toward your yard. Our installers are rigorously trained on this local standard to ensure your fence is built correctly and compliantly on the very first attempt.
