| Typical residential fence install | $4,000–$12,000 | Depends on length and material |
|---|---|---|
| Biggest price driver | Linear feet | Measure your property line roughly before you call |

What affects the price
- Total length in linear feet
- Material: wood privacy, vinyl, aluminum or chain link
- Height, especially going from 4 to 6 feet or more
- Gates, particularly wide drive-through gates
- Slope and rock: Middle Tennessee limestone can slow post-hole digging
- Removing and hauling away an old fence
Permits and rules in Hendersonville
Hendersonville requires a fence permit from the Planning Department before construction. Rear and interior side-yard fences can be up to 8 feet; front-yard fences can't sit closer to the street than the house and are limited to 48 inches (lots under an acre) or 60 inches (over an acre). Fences can't encroach on the right-of-way, and stricter HOA rules apply where they exist.

Hendersonville tip: Sloped lots are common in Hendersonville. Ask how your pro will handle drainage, steps or stepped fence panels so water and the grade don't cause problems later.
