Every town ship is differant. Try dealing with ours , you need permit build dog house. Know that's crock. I was willing pay for 200' of fencing put between school hill and our house turned me down. The hill side covered in weeds , trash and it's eye sore. Know the real kicker is if my grass grows over 4'' high they give you $500 fine. No I don't live in housing plan , what one does other has to follow.
