Peoria requires permits for masonry walls and block fences. Standard open fencing under 6 feet in side and rear yards may not require a building permit but must comply with zoning standards.
Block walls, masonry fences, and retaining walls in Peoria require building permits from the Development Services Department. Standard wrought iron or open fencing under 6 feet in side and rear yards may be exempt from building permits but must comply with the zoning code. Front yard walls over 3 feet require permits. All fences must be set back from public rights-of-way and utilities. HOA communities may require architectural review committee approval in addition to city permits.
Walls or fences built without required permits result in code violations and may need to be removed or permitted retroactively.
