Memphis fence totals rise with taller rear privacy, more gates, haul-away, and tight side yards near Germantown or Millington. Memphis can allow up to about 8 ft in rear yards on many lots, with side yards often nearer about 6 ft. Front yards stay shorter for sightlines, which can lower material needs on street-facing runs.

Need a site plan for your Memphis fence permit?

Most Shelby County cities ask for a site plan when a fence permit is required. A certified survey often runs $1,000 to $3,000, and you usually do not need that level unless the city specifically asks for a certified or stamped drawing. Ergeon can generate a permit-ready, GIS-based site plan in about 15 minutes for $29, using the same tool it relies on for its own permit filings.
