Cape Charles · Eastern Shore
We cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to build and repair fences in Cape Charles and Northampton County, and we carry the historic district paperwork as your agent.
Two kinds of lot
In the historic town grid a fence has to fit the neighborhood and clear the town's review. In newer communities like Bay Creek, HOA rules and pool code drive the choice. We build for both and handle the paperwork either way.
ZIP 23310 and surrounding Northampton County. Eastern Shore jobs run as dedicated trips across the CBBT.
The historic district
Most of the original town sits inside the Cape Charles Historic District Overlay, and the town's zoning ordinance names fences among the exterior work that needs review.
Fence construction takes a zoning clearance. Inside the Historic District Overlay, a new or rebuilt fence also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a permit is issued. Temporary fencing and a few minor items are exempt.
The Historic District Review Board meets monthly; straightforward projects can go to the Zoning Administrator under the design guidelines. The ordinance caps a board decision at 90 days, and an issued certificate is good for six months.
At your request we act as your agent: compile and file the application with Planning and Zoning, handle inspection call-ins, and meet the inspector on site. County builds outside town get the same with Northampton County's zoning clearance.
