Why do I picture a guy on a horse riding the line and nailing up barbed wire?
Sorry fat o m. I think that I've seen too many western movies.
Permits vary from state to state and then you have to break it down to the county and city level. All can have their own requirements. You really need to check into your local regs.

license
a lot of guys don't have one at all here,but it should be a standard contractors license and insurance, nobody really bothers fence guys here,unlike contractors building houses,if they fall down ,big problem, fences don't fall down, up here the biggest problem is buried utilities the new law states all utilities must be marked out before any digging,if you hit one ,its a big fine.
