The city's residential districts allow a fence up to 3.5 feet in the required front yard, four feet beside the main building where it projects toward the front, and seven feet elsewhere on the lot. Nothing may block the view within 80 feet each way of a street intersection. Price fence contractors against those limits.

Lucas County Building Regulations issues residential building permits in the city, and a permit is required for structures over 200 square feet. The application needs zoning approval, water and sewer approvals, a legal description, and two sets of construction documents with a site plan.

No, Sylvania Township is separate from the City of Sylvania and issues its own zoning permits for remodeling, fences, decks, gazebos, carports, pools, and accessory structures. A property on a well or septic system needs written approval from the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department first.

In the city's residential districts, a swimming pool must sit at least 10 feet from any lot line, and in the R-1 district its deck counts too. An accessory building may be 20 feet high, cover 30 percent of the rear yard, and sit 10 feet from the main building and three feet from other lot lines. Those numbers decide whether a deck building plan fits your lot.
