Block walls and masonry fences typically require building permits in Chandler. Wood fences under 6 feet may be exempt. Pool barriers must meet ARS §36-1681.
Arizona communities predominantly use block/masonry walls, which typically require building permits due to structural considerations. Standard wood or vinyl fences under 6 feet may be exempt in some cities. Block walls over 6 feet always require structural engineering and permits. Pool barrier fences must meet ARS §36-1681 requirements. Check property line and easements before building - utility easements (SRP, APS) may restrict fence placement. HOAs require separate approval and often dictate wall height, material, and color.
Unpermitted wall: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification or removal.
