The City of Goodyear requires building permits for fence and wall construction. Block masonry walls (standard throughout Goodyear) require permits with inspections at footing, rebar placement, and final stages. Applications require site plans showing fence location, height, and materials. The Development Services department handles permit processing. In master-planned communities, HOA architectural review approval is typically required before applying for a city building permit.
Unpermitted fences may be subject to code enforcement action including required removal or modification.
