Boulder City requires a building permit for most fences over 6 feet tall and for any fence in the historic district per Title 11 Planning and Zoning.
Boulder City Municipal Code Title 11 Planning and Zoning regulates fence construction. Fences 6 feet or less in rear and side yards generally do not require a permit, but any fence over 6 feet tall requires a building permit from the Community Development Department. In the Historic District, all fences visible from a public right of way require design review regardless of height, to preserve the unique character of the town founded to build Hoover Dam. Pool barrier fences have separate permit requirements under the adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Applications are submitted to Community Development at City Hall. Contact Boulder City at 702-293-9200 or review the Municode-hosted code online before starting construction.
