Fence Permit Information

The Village will be adding the cost for a special Village markout of these lines to every fence permit and excavation permit that is applied for.
This should run about $75 on top of the $75 permit.
These permits already require a markout to be completed.
Those persons who are " fixing their fence" and don't need a permit still need a markout.
Buried electric lines are live and could cause serious injury to anyone who breaks them.
In addition to these electric lines, one must also be aware of gas, LIPA, Cablevision and Verizon lines as well.
The village has been paying for repairs of homeowners/contractors who cut the electric lines running to our street lights without getting a permit or a markout. The average cost to repair this damage is $1,000. The village should not continue to bare the burden of persons who don't follow the code.
