A preliminary plan is not a certified survey or engineered drawing.

Permit package asks for your property survey

Limited repairs and some agricultural or garden fencing can be exempt. The city’s published repair thresholds differ across pages, so confirm before relying on an exemption.

The local drawing requirement

Use the survey from your closing documents

The city directs owners to mark the proposed fence on a property survey. It does not offer an applicant-drawn plot plan as an equivalent on this checklist.

If you cannot find the closing survey, Georgetown suggests asking the title company. A preliminary plan does not certify the boundary.

Before you file

  • Mark the fence location, height, and material on the property survey.
  • Keep front-yard fences at or below 4 feet and at least 50% open.
  • Side and rear residential fences are generally limited to 6 feet.
  • Submit through the city’s current online permit portal.

EasySitePlan cannot replace Georgetown’s requested survey

The boundary

EasySitePlan does not certify boundaries, replace a required survey, provide engineering, submit the permit, or guarantee approval.
