Tips for dealing with a contractor Tip: Contractors can only ask for a down payment of 10 percent of the cost of the job or $ 1,000.00 whichever figure is less. Tip: All contractors are required to post there license number on all advertisements. Including there truck if they are advertising on it. All California state contractors license numbers have six digits. If any numbers are missing or there are extra numbers the contractor may not be what they say they are. Tip: You can tell how long a contractor has been licensed by how low his or her number is. The lower the number the longer the contractor has been in business legally. If a contractor has a number that starts in the eights or nine hundred thousands then the contractor is a newly licensed contractor. Tips on permits and fence laws. Tip: A fence within the first 16' of a street or driveway. Can "legally" only be 4' high with the top 1' being 80 percent open. Tip: A side or back fence can only be 6' high without a permit. If you want to go up to 8' high, all building departments will require you to get a permit. If both side or back neighbors are on friendly terms and agree to the fence being above 6' in height then you problity will not have a problem. Most building departments will not red tag a fence at 8' high unless someone complains about it, but it can happen. Tip: Tiburon, Ca. If you want to do any building of any kind. Including any fencing over 3'6" high in Tiburon Ca. You will need a permit. If the fence you want to build is over 6' high you will have to go to a public hearing and get a variance or keep the fence under 6'. In order to apply for a permit for a fence under or over 6' high you will need a site plan of your property. Also a drawing of the fence details in triplicate. They will send the plans to the planning and building departments, with fees applying to both departments. Fencing permits are not required, in the rest of the county, for fences under 6' high. The only exception is a front fence that is 6' high within 16' of the street or a driveway and these requirements are not enforced in many locations but are still illegal.

"The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
