Do I need a permit for fence installation or replacement in Toone?
It depends. Whether fence installation or replacement needs a permit in Toone comes down to the details of your project.
Tennessee runs a state residential building code program. The State Fire Marshal enforces the 2018 International Residential Code for one and two family dwellings and townhouses in areas that have not had local code enforcement approved instead and have not opted out by a two thirds vote of the city or county legislative body. Where that program applies, Section R105.2 exempts fences not over 7 feet high. Where a local government runs its own program, its ordinance sets the fence rules, and local zoning height, corner-visibility and front-yard limits apply either way. Confirm with your local codes or zoning office. Barrier requirements are stricter around swimming pools, and locating a fence on the property line without a survey risks encroachment disputes.
Local detail for Toone: Tennessee's State Residential Building Code Enforcement Program covers Toone, so residential building permits are bought from the State Fire Marshal's Office (online through CORE) and inspected by a state deputy inspector, not a local department.
