Fence rules in South Park
South Park is in Allegheny County.
Permit
South Park Township's building requirements sheet lists fences among the projects that need a permit. The Building Department at 2675 Brownsville Road takes questions at 412-831-7000, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Height limits
We could not read the height limits online. Call South Park Township before you design the fence.
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.
