Building permits for fences in Manitou Springs are issued by PPRBD. Fences exceeding height limits or in historic overlay districts may require additional review. Standard residential fences meeting code may not require a permit.
PPRBD (719-327-2880) issues building permits for fences that exceed height standards or involve structural elements. Manitou Springs may have Historic District overlay requirements that subject fence installations to design review through the Planning Department (719-685-4398). Given the city's status as a historic tourist town, visual compatibility with the neighborhood character is considered. Standard residential fences within code standards may proceed without a formal building permit. Always call 811 before digging fence post holes.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
