Matthews Fences
Fences for Matthews homes, built to the Town of Matthews' own zoning rules and HOA standards.
Matthews is its own town with its own zoning ordinance, so City of Charlotte rules like the CDOT Fence and Wall Certificate don't apply there. Check the Town of Matthews planning and zoning office for fence height and placement rules, and your HOA for style. Mecklenburg County building permits and NC pool barrier rules still apply where relevant.
