Most residential fences in Eugene do not require building permits if they meet height limits and use approved materials. Fences over height limits or in special zones may need permits.
Standard residential fences meeting height limits and using approved materials generally do not require building permits in Eugene. However, fences exceeding height limits, masonry or concrete walls over certain heights, and fences in special zones (historic districts, planned unit developments) may require permits or planning review. Pool barriers have separate permit requirements. All fences must comply with land use code standards regardless of permit status.
Fences requiring permits that are built without them face code compliance action and may need retroactive review.
