re: Permit for new fence

Technically, yes you do. Even though you approval from all neighbors, it only takes one person in the area that may have a different feeling to report it. Personally, I think its pointless but to keep yourself from a fine and something possibly worse, can't hurt to just get the approval and be done with it.

For what its worth, i built my fence (i also live in metairie) with neighbor approval and didn't want a permit but let people talk me into getting one. I'm sort of glad i did now because one of those said neighbors has become a bit of an issue since lately and i'm glad i have proof that i'm clear with the parish.
