Sandy requires a building permit for fences over 6 feet tall and for masonry or retaining walls over 4 feet. Standard residential fences under 6 ft generally do not need a permit.
Apply for fence permits through Sandy Community Development. Retaining walls over 4 feet require engineered plans. All fences must comply with zoning, setback, and corner visibility rules even when exempt from building permit. Contact Sandy at (801) 568-7100. This permits rule under Sandy's fences ordinances applies to properties within Sandy city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Sandy code enforcement directly or consult the official Utah municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
