We require the following for retaining walls that are more than four feet tall:

- Zoning check and site plan

Homeowners can perform work on their own property. Above rules are for retaining walls totally enclosed on the homeowner’s property. Walls on neighboring properties or public areas require additional permissions and procedures.
