Amerifence Tip: How to Get HOA Approval for Your New Fence

Deciding to add a new fence to your Loveland area property is exciting. Still, if you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association (HOA), you’ll need to get approval before professional installation. At Amerifence, we’re here to help you navigate permits, paperwork, and HOA hurdles so your project moves forward smoothly. Whether you’re dreaming of a vinyl, aluminum, or cedar fence, here’s what you should know before hiring our team to install a new fence.

Start with Your HOA Guidelines

Before we sketch your first fence post, request your HOA’s written guidelines and policies. Many HOAs have strict rules, so these documents will tell you what fence styles, heights, and colors are permitted. Some neighborhoods even limit fences to specific areas of your yard. Thoroughly reviewing these standards can save you time and headaches down the road.

What You’ll Need to Prepare Your Application

Getting HOA approval for fence installation starts with submitting detailed information. Here’s a helpful checklist:

• Property Boundary Survey: Have a plot plan or survey location report showing your property lines.

• Site Map or Layout: Mark where you’d like your new fence to be installed directly on the survey. Highlight or outline this area.

• Product Details: A picture or brochure of the fence style (vinyl, aluminum, or cedar) you’re proposing.

• Contract or Proposal (optional): Submitting a fence contractor’s estimate or contract can demonstrate professionalism.

Most HOAs require you to submit these documents to a review committee. Expect an approval window of 14–30 days.

Don’t Forget Local Permits

Even with HOA approval, some cities may need you to file for a fence permit. This process checks zoning laws, setbacks, and property boundaries. We suggest calling your city ahead of time to find out what’s required.
