Building permits for fences in Fountain are handled by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD). Fences exceeding height limits or those enclosing pools require permits. Standard residential fences meeting height/material standards may not need a permit.
Fountain uses the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department for construction permits, including fences. Fences over height limits, retaining wall-integrated fences, and pool barrier fences require a permit. Standard residential fences within zoning standards generally do not require a building permit but must comply with setbacks and material standards. Zoning compliance review through Fountain Planning (719-322-2017) is recommended before installation. Always call 811 before digging post holes.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
