Fencing Built for Millington's Permit Rules, Lot Geometry, and Drainage
A Millington fence has to clear three things before it is ever worth building: a city permit with a site drawing, a set of height and placement rules that change on a corner lot, and drainage ground that sits between Big Creek and the Loosahatchie. We work through all three before we dig. We confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
City Fence Permit & Front-Yard Materials
Millington Municipal Code Title 13, Chapter 8 requires a city fence permit before installation, and the application includes a drawing showing the fence relative to the property line. Front-yard materials are limited to split rail, brick, wood or PVC picket, and wrought iron with brick or stone columns — anything else needs Planning Commission approval, and chain link is allowed in side and rear yards only where it is not visible from the street. We confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Corner Lots, Height Caps & Gate Placement
Front yards are capped at 48 inches and side and rear yards run up to 8 feet. A fence over 48 inches on a corner lot must sit 15 feet back from the street right-of-way and go in the yard other than the principal entrance, and a gate into a fenced front yard must be at least 20 feet from the property line. Vision clearance bars anything between 2.5 and 10 feet above grade within 100 feet of intersecting street centerlines, and corner, double-frontage, and open-space-abutting fences must show the finished side outward. We confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Drainage & Easement Rules
Millington sits between Big Creek and the channelized Loosahatchie River, and the May 2010 Big Creek levee breach flooded homes on and around Naval Support Activity Mid-South. That history is why the code requires ground clearance for free drainage with a two-inch minimum in a drainage easement, and why the city can require removal of any fence in a public easement at the owner's expense. We confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Complete Fencing in Millington — Every Style, Every Material
From full backyard privacy enclosures to custom gates, every fence we build in Millington comes with the same lifetime workmanship warranty.
Privacy Fence
Full-height wood or vinyl privacy fencing — the most popular choice for Millington backyards, where side and rear yards allow up to 8 feet. Board-on-board, shadowbox, or solid panel designs built to block sightlines and hold their line through seasonal soil movement.
Get a Free QuoteWood / Cedar Fence
Western red cedar and pressure-treated pine fences with stainless-steel hardware. Wood is one of the materials Millington allows in a front yard, which makes it a practical choice for a front picket run as well as a full privacy line.
Get a Free QuoteVinyl Fence
Low-maintenance vinyl fencing that never needs painting or staining. Impervious to termites, won't warp in West Tennessee humidity, and available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles — including the PVC picket Millington allows in front yards.
Get a Free QuoteChain Link
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link for security, pet containment, and pool enclosures. Under Millington's rules chain link is allowed in side and rear yards only where it is not visible from the street, so we lay it out accordingly.
Get a Free QuoteAluminum / Ornamental
Powder-coated aluminum ornamental fencing with wrought-iron curb appeal and none of the rust. A natural fit for Millington front yards, where wrought iron with brick or stone columns is among the approved materials.
Get a Free QuoteGates
Custom driveway, pedestrian, and double-entry gates in wood, aluminum, or steel. Heavy-duty hinges and self-closing hardware, with the layout set to respect Millington's 20-foot front-yard gate offset and corner-lot vision clearance.

Millington Fencing Questions, Answered
Yes. Millington Municipal Code Title 13, Chapter 8 requires a city fence permit before installation, and the application includes a drawing showing the fence relative to the property line. We pull the permit as part of the job, and we confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Chain link is allowed in side and rear yards only where it is not visible from the street. It is not one of the materials approved for a front yard, where the code limits you to split rail, brick, wood or PVC picket, and wrought iron with brick or stone columns — anything else needs Planning Commission approval. We confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Front yards are capped at 48 inches, and side and rear yards run up to 8 feet. On a corner lot, a fence over 48 inches must sit 15 feet back from the street right-of-way and go in the yard other than the principal entrance. Vision clearance also bars anything between 2.5 and 10 feet above grade within 100 feet of intersecting street centerlines. We confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Sometimes, but the rules matter here. Grandfathering limits for replacements mean an existing fence may not be grandfathered indefinitely, and lack of upkeep is itself a code violation in Millington. If your fence has fallen into disrepair, patching it may not resolve the underlying issue with the city. We walk the fence with you, tell you honestly which side of that line you are on, and confirm the current requirement with Millington Planning and Development before we build.
Fence pricing depends on the material you choose, the linear footage of the run, how many gates you need, and the grade of your site. Because those vary so much from one Millington property to the next, we do not quote from a chart. We come out, measure your property, walk the grade, and give you a free written quote with exact pricing.
