Most residential fences in Sioux Falls do not require a building permit if they are 7 feet or under. Fences exceeding 7 feet in height do require a permit. All fences must comply with zoning setback and height regulations.
Standard residential fences under 7 feet tall are generally exempt from building permit requirements but must still meet all zoning standards for height, setbacks, and materials. A permit is required for fences over 7 feet. Before building, homeowners should verify their property lines and check for utility easements. The city recommends calling 811 before digging to locate underground utilities.
Building without a permit: fines of $100 to $500. Non-compliant fences may require modification or removal. Encroachment on public right-of-way requires immediate correction.
