Upper St. Clair requires a zoning permit for every fence. Submit a survey (plot plan) showing where the fence goes. For a privacy fence, meaning one that is more than 50 percent solid, also submit a sketch of a section with its dimensions. The township's fence application lists a $25 zoning fee. Community Development takes questions at 412-831-9000 ext. 5010.

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.

Plan on 4 to 6 weeks of lead time to cover permitting and scheduling together. If your property has an HOA, its approval runs on a separate timeline, so start that application first.
