Fence Company in Northwood, ND
Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental fencing for town lots and open acreage.
Out here the wind is not a weather event, it is a constant load. On an open lot near Northwood a fence takes pressure every day of the year, and in winter the ground freezes deep enough to lift anything that is not anchored properly.
We drive posts below the frost line rather than setting them in shallow concrete. On acreage that difference shows up within a couple of seasons.

Fence Permits in Northwood, ND
Northwood is a small city and does not publish its fence requirements as a standalone handout the way Grand Forks and Fargo do. What the City does publish is set out below, along with where to get the rest.
- The Planning and Zoning Commission is the building authority in the City of Northwood.
- The building code governing construction and expansion was first passed in 1978 by Ordinance #264 and is updated as needed through public hearing and City Council approval.
- The City’s jurisdiction extends one half mile in all directions from the corporate boundaries, so properties just outside town can still fall under city requirements.
- The Building Permit Packet, Residential Code and Zoning Map are published by the City and linked below.
- The City states that for a complete list of regulations you should inquire at City Hall or contact City Administration directly.
Source: City of Northwood. City Clerk, 512 Washington Ave, 701-587-5370, clerk@northwoodcity.net. The Residential Code and Building Permit Packet are published as scanned documents, so specific height and setback figures should be confirmed directly with City Hall before building.

Fence Installation FAQs for Northwood, ND
Permits, the City’s half-mile jurisdiction, property lines and long-term durability on exposed Northwood ground.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Northwood?
The Planning and Zoning Commission is the building authority in the City of Northwood. The building code dates to Ordinance #264, passed in 1978, and is updated through public hearing and City Council approval. The code is not published in searchable form online, so confirm what applies to your property with City Hall at 701-587-5370 before building.
Do Northwood's rules apply if my property is outside town?
Possibly. The City’s jurisdiction extends one half mile in all directions from the corporate boundaries of Northwood. An acreage just outside the city can still fall under city requirements, which surprises a lot of owners.
Where do I get a building permit in Northwood?
At City Hall, 512 Washington Ave. The Building Permit Packet can be downloaded from the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission page, linked above.
What fence holds up best on an open lot near Northwood?
Wind is the constant load out here, not a seasonal one. Post depth, post spacing and how the posts are set matter more than the material. Chain link and well-braced wood both perform on exposed ground when the below-grade work is done properly.
What is the best fence for privacy in Northwood?
Vinyl and wood privacy fences are the most common choices. Vinyl offers a clean look with low maintenance, while wood provides more design flexibility and can be braced heavily where wind exposure is severe.
Do you install fencing outside Northwood city limits?
Yes. We install throughout Grand Forks County and the wider Red River Valley, on farmsteads and rural acreages as well as in town.
Do you offer fence repair in Northwood?
Yes. On open ground near Northwood the wind loads a fence every day of the year, and frozen ground lifts posts that are not anchored properly, so a repair usually starts with the posts and their bracing. As with a new fence, confirm with City Hall at 701-587-5370 whether the work needs a permit, including on acreage within the City’s half-mile jurisdiction. See our fence repair page for how the work is done.
