The first step in obtaining a fence permit is to consult with a planner about the fence you are interested in proposing.
To do this you may email planning@ci.richmond.ca.us or call 510-620-6706. Please also review the Fence Permit - Residential Checklist and Residential Fence Design Guidelines and Standards. When you are ready to submit your application you can do this online through eTRAKiT and follow the how-to submit a planning application guide.
