One homeowner’s packet, in the board’s own words:

“Board members complimented the thoroughness of the application materials, photographs, supporting documentation, and overall presentation…”

Approved 4–2, Brecksville, Ohio, July 13, 2026. The minutes

Projects we help with

Anything the code says no to, but a board can say yes to.

How we build it

  1. We read your board’s minutes.

    Every case like yours it has decided, with the vote, so your application cites what already got a yes.

    Found in Brecksville, Ohio: BZA26-000011, 6' fence on part of the yard. Code says 4'. Approved 4–2.

  2. We read your city code.

    The exact section your project runs into, and the standard the board has to apply, written into your case.

    In Brecksville, Ohio, a 6’ fence runs into Section 1185.03(a): 4’ maximum.

  3. You draw it, with our tools.

    We pull an overhead of your lot, mark the lot lines, the house and the driveway, and take a first pass at the project. You drag it into place, to scale, because you know your yard. Renderings on your own house if you want them.

  4. You review, then file.

    Nothing goes to the city until you’ve read it. Then you file it on the city’s portal, and we hand you the one-pager for the meeting.

The packet $199

  1. The application, filled in. Your city’s form, its fee, its deadline.
  2. The sketch. An overhead of your lot with the project drawn on it, sized the way the city wants.
  3. Your case. Why the rule is a real difficulty on your lot, citing what this board already said yes to.
  4. The one-pager. What to hold and say at the meeting, and answers to what they’ll ask.

Packet + renderings $349

Everything in the packet, plus:

  1. Renderings. The project on your actual house, from your photos, in the style you want. Boards say yes faster to what they can see.
  2. A neighbor letter you can hand next door. Support letters show up in the approvals.

After you pay, we’ll ask for photos of the house, the yard, and any styles you like.

Drafted from public records, checked by a person before it ships. Not legal advice. No promises on the vote.

Boards meet once a month. Don’t miss the deadline.

Questions

Is this legal advice?
No. It’s the public record, sorted, plus a draft you edit.
Will I get a yes?
Nobody can promise that. You’ll file a complete application and walk in knowing what worked.
What if my city isn’t covered?
We tell you before you pay.
My contractor said they’d handle it.
It’s your name on the form, and the board wants to hear from you. In Brecksville, both cases a fence company presented were denied.
