What the Sunrise fence checklist asks for
- A licensed contractor registered with the city’s Building Division (or an owner-builder with a notarized affidavit)
- The Uniform Building Permit Application, the city’s Structural Addendum and Homeowner Affidavit, and a utility locate ticket number
- Two copies of a survey or site plan showing the fence, gates, heights, run lengths and whether there’s a pool or spa
- Product approval or sealed engineering for anything other than prescriptive wood or chain link
- A Notice of Commencement above the state threshold
Fences go straight to the Building Division, and the city says simple fence permits generally take about two days.
