Permits & fees
The City of Clarksville says a permit is required for fences over 6 feet tall. In residential front-yard setbacks (30 or 40 ft, depending on the subdivision), solid fencing is limited to 3½ feet; side and rear fences may go to the property line; barbed wire is prohibited on residential property. Projects valued at $25,000+ require a Tennessee-licensed contractor. Call Tennessee 811 before digging.
