Structural fences 6 feet or less in height do not require a building permit in Provo. Fences over 6 feet require a permit. All fences must comply with setback, vision clearance, and zoning rules.
Provo City Code §14.10.150 states that structural fences 6 feet or less in height do not require a building permit. However, all fences — permit-required or not — must comply with height limits, setback requirements, and sight distance rules for the applicable zone. Fences over 6 feet require a building permit from the Community Development Department. Vegetative/hedge fences must also not create sight distance hazards. A fence that creates a traffic vision hazard may be ordered removed by the city traffic engineer regardless of permit status.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
