Do I need a permit for a fence?

Please refer to Article V, Section 5.11 of the Town of Gorham Zoning Ordinance for information regarding permits for fences. Fences are not required to meet minimum setback requirements.  (Note: If the property borders a State of NH Controlled Right-of-Way then permission must be obtained from the NH Department of Transportation) If the fence is 6’ or taller it is considered a structure and must meet the minimum setback requirements for the property zone or request a Special Exception.
