‍Regulations & Resources

Local requirements can make or break your installation timeline, so here's what to check first in Merrillville. Here are the key regulations to be aware of in Merrillville:
HOA Considerations
If you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners’ association, there may be restrictions on fence styles, heights, and materials. We recommend checking in and getting written HOA approval before submitting your permit application to the town.

In Merrillville, fences are generally limited to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side or back yards. Taller designs usually require a special zoning exception through the Merrillville Planning & Building Department.
