Do I need a permit for fence installation or replacement in Town of Haverstraw?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether fence installation or replacement needs a permit in Town of Haverstraw comes down to the details of your project.

Fences are not on the list of work a New York local program may exempt (19 NYCRR 1203.3(a)(1)); the 2025 RCNYS sets fence requirements for swimming pool barriers, while height limits, placement, and any permit for an ordinary fence come from local zoning and the local code enforcement program. Confirm locally. A fence that serves as a pool barrier must be at least 48 inches high with no more than 2 inches of clearance at the bottom, and its gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and lockable (RCNYS R328.4.2.1, R328.4.2.7; Executive Law section 378(14)). During pool construction a temporary barrier at least 48 inches high is required and must be replaced by a permanent barrier within 90 days of the permit or the start of construction (RCNYS R328.4.1).
