South Jordan Title 17 zoning limits fences to 4 ft in front yards and 6 ft in side/rear yards in standard residential zones. Taller fences require a zoning approval.
Under Title 17 (Zoning) of the South Jordan Municipal Code, fences in single-family residential zones are limited to 4 feet in front yard setback areas and 6 feet in side and rear yards. Corner lots have additional sight-distance requirements — fences within a triangular 'clear view' area at the corner must be lower (typically 3 ft) to maintain traffic visibility. Fences exceeding 6 ft typically require a building permit and may need a zoning variance or special approval. Retaining walls over 4 ft generally require engineering. HOAs including Daybreak enforce additional design and material standards.
