The #1 Fencing Company in Angola, Indiana
Gleave Construction has been installing fences across Northeast Indiana since 1970, including Angola and the surrounding Steuben County communities. It lies in the middle of Indiana’s lake country, with established historic neighborhoods near downtown and newer subdivisions expanding east and north of the city. Our crews know this area’s soil, its freeze-thaw cycles city ordinances, and how to coordinate utility clearances before a post goes in the ground.
That mix of older homes near the Angola Commercial Historic District and newer ranch-style builds in outlying subdivisions creates distinct fencing needs. Historic properties often call for ornamental aluminum or cedar to complement the existing architecture. Lakefront lots and newer developments frequently prioritize vinyl privacy panels, pool enclosures, and automated gate systems.

Angola, Indiana Fence Permits, Height & Placement Rules
Fence installation within city limits is governed by the City of Angola’s Unified Development Ordinance. Here is what homeowners need to know before building a fence.
| Category | What the City Requires |
|---|---|
| Permit Required | A building permit is required for fence installation within city limits. Contact Planning & Zoning at (260) 665-7465 or planning@angolain.org. |
| Permitted Materials | Wood, composite wood, stone, masonry, wrought iron, decorative metal, and PVC are permitted. Chain link and vinyl-coated chain link are permitted for pool, sport court, and similar recreational enclosures only. |
| Prohibited Materials | Barbed wire, above-ground electrified wires, razor wire, glass, and sharpened top spikes are generally not permitted in residential zoning districts. Exceptions exist for livestock containment and special uses by administrative approval. |
| Front Yard | Only decorative fences that do not serve as an enclosure and are 3 feet or less in height are permitted. |
| Side & Rear Yard | Fences and walls are permitted. The UDO sets a general maximum of 8 feet. Confirm with the Planning Department. |
| Lake & Wetland Setback | Minimum 25-foot setback from wetlands and water’s edge may apply. Confirm with Planning. Lake-area properties may require association review. |
| Gates | Must match fence height/material. Pool gates require self-closing and self-latching hardware. |
| HOA Areas | HOAs may impose additional restrictions on style, color, and height. |

Getting fence placement or height wrong in Angola can result in a required removal, city fines, or HOA conflicts. Front-yard fencing violations are a common compliance issue city inspectors flag on residential projects.
Gleave Construction manages the permit process from start to finish. We obtain the necessary permits before installation begins, coordinate with the city on placement, and ensure your fence complies with city’s development standards.
