Fence contractors typically pay tax on materials (panels, posts, concrete, hardware) while installation labor may be tax-exempt. Removal of old fencing and disposal fees vary by jurisdiction. Some areas tax ornamental iron differently than wood or vinyl. EstimatePro's per-item taxable toggle handles mixed materials.
