Fence rules in Green Tree

Green Tree is in Allegheny County.

Permit

Green Tree handles fences on a combined shed and fence permit application. The permit fee printed on the form is $50, and the form needs the fence material, maximum height, total length, and a sketch of the location. Call the borough at 412-921-1110.

Height limits

The borough's application lists 6 feet as the maximum fence height. Front-yard and setback limits sit in the zoning code, which we could not read online.

Pool barrier

Pennsylvania pool barrier rules call for a barrier at least 48 inches high, measured on the side facing away from the pool, with a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings away from the pool. If the latch release is on the pool side it must be at least 54 inches off the ground. Municipalities can adopt their own changes, so confirm with yours. Read our pool fence guide.

Rules change and HOAs add their own, so we confirm what applies to your address before anything is built. Call us at 412-337-1039.
