In Rosemount, you can build a fence anywhere on your property, but you can’t build on the property line itself. The city doesn’t offer any surveying assistance, so it falls to you to know where your property line is. When you use Northland Fence’s planning tool, you can easily create a fence that meets your needs while learning more about the costs involved based on the size of your property.

You aren’t legally required to notify your neighbors about an upcoming vinyl fence installation. However, you might consider telling them anyway. It’s the neighborly thing to do.

Yes, in Rosemount, you do need a fence permit before you can start the installation. The fence permit fee is $75, and the city does one inspection either during or after the fence’s installation.

The person in charge of the fencing project needs to check with the utility company to avoid cutting a cable or busting a pipe.

Technically, there’s nothing stopping you from building a fence on an easement, but it’s never a good idea. The area of easement is either used by the city or a utility company. When they need access to the area, they’ll destroy your fence, and you can’t force them to repair it.
