Fences in unincorporated Utah County may require building permits depending on height and zone. Contact Utah County Community Development to confirm permit requirements for your property.
Utah County may require building permits for fences above certain heights or in sensitive areas. Agricultural fencing for livestock generally does not require permits. Residential fences over 6 feet typically require permits. For fence permit requirements specific to a parcel, contact Utah County Community Development (codev.utahcounty.gov) or submit a Preliminary Zone Clearance Request. Fence construction near utility easements, flood zones, or county road rights-of-way may require additional approvals.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
