Wasco Municipal Code Ch. 15.24 Fences and Walls

No person, firm or corporation shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or improve any wall or fence in the city, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a building permit from the building official or the city clerk. (Ord. 194 §1, 1974).

To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file an application, in writing, on a form furnished for that purpose, identifying the work to be covered by the permit, and giving a description of the land on which the proposed work is to be done, by lot, block, tract, and house and street address, or similar description that will readily identify and definitely locate the proposed fence or wall. (Ord. 194 §2, 1974).

The permit shall be issued without fee, and shall be issued by the proper official if the fence or wall meets the city’s requirements for such structures as to location and height. (Ord. 194 §3, 1974).

Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be punishable by a fine of not more than twenty-five dollars or by imprisonment not to exceed five days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. (Ord. 194 §4, 1974).
