Permits & rules
West Lafayette enforces a fence permit for structures over 4 feet in the front yard and 6 feet elsewhere. The city also requires a utility locate before any install. Apply through the West Lafayette Engineering Department.
HOA requirements

Many require pre-approved fence materials like vinyl or aluminum. Older neighborhoods near campus have fewer restrictions, but we check before every project.
Indiana weather
The elevated terrain west of the Wabash River gets more wind exposure than Lafayette proper. We recommend reinforced corner and gate posts for properties on exposed lots.
