Eagle Mountain, UT Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

120(B)(1) lists allowed and prohibited residential perimeter fence materials. Allowed materials are board such as cedar, vinyl, solid decorative concrete or masonry walls including brick, pre-weathered ASTM A606-4 or A588 steel, wrought iron or its imitation, composite material, and limited hog wire under 80 percent of a fence section's area, all provided the fence has top and bottom rails and substantial posts or columns. Chain-link, wire fencing, razor wire, chain fencing, gabion basket fencing and electric fencing are not allowed on residential perimeters, and the code also bars sheet metal (other than the specified pre-weathered steel), corrugated metal, OSB, and nontraditional materials such as signs, rugs, cardboard or Styrofoam.

The code then carves out a livestock exception reflecting Eagle Mountain's rural origins: barbed wire or wire fences, including electric lines, may be used to create animal enclosures, but the fence cannot exceed six feet in height and may only be used within or alongside rear yard areas. 120(C): barbed wire, electrified wire and full wire fencing such as hog wire are allowed in conjunction with keeping livestock, on property with greenbelt tax status or legal nonconforming status, for city fencing of conservation easements, the wildlife corridor, or land under vegetative management such as grazing, and chain-link is allowed around industrially zoned properties or monopole cell towers if it has top rails, is vinyl coated, is screened from parking lots and public streets, has no slats, and sits flush to the ground.
