Under the Utah County Land Use Ordinance, residential zone fences in front yards are limited to 4 feet in height. Rear and side yard fences may generally be up to 6 feet. Agricultural and rural zones may have more latitude for taller fences and livestock enclosures. Corner lot vision area requirements restrict fence heights at intersections to maintain safety sight lines. For specific height limits by zone classification, submit a Preliminary Zone Clearance Request to Utah County Planning & Zoning (codev.utahcounty.gov) or contact the planning staff.
