Fence Installation in St. Matthews and Jefferson County

Coordinate local review and layout in St. Matthews.

St. Matthews' Planning and Design office describes its role alongside Louisville Metro in the building-review process. Ask which approvals apply to the particular fence before selecting its final location. A useful estimate sketch shows the house, driveway, public sidewalk and adjoining properties, allowing privacy goals to be discussed without overlooking access or the property's street edges.

Show the public-facing edge

Include sidewalks and driveway views on the sketch. Discuss visible fence runs separately from a rear enclosure intended for outdoor living.

Keep maintenance access usable

Measure side paths and equipment clearances. Include the opening needed for landscaping work before choosing gate width and placement.

Should a St. Matthews fence project be checked with the city or Metro?

Start with St. Matthews Planning and Design to confirm the review route for the address and proposed work, including any coordination with Louisville Metro. A general county-level answer may not cover the city's role.
