Springdale fence installations are reviewed by the Building and Development Services Department under Chapter 22 (Building) and Chapter 130 (Zoning). A permit is generally required and must clear zoning height, sight-triangle, and floodplain checks before installation. Applications and questions go to 201 Spring Street or 479-756-8200.
Fence permitting in Springdale is administered by the Building and Development Services Department under Chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances (Buildings and Building Regulations) together with Chapter 130 (Zoning Ordinance). The Permits Office is at 201 Spring Street and can be reached at 479-756-8200. Applications typically require a site sketch showing the proposed fence location, height, materials, and the distance to property lines, plus the parcel's zoning district so staff can apply the appropriate fence rules from Chapter 130 Articles 3, 4, and 6. Fences inside a regulated floodplain or on a corner-lot sight triangle face additional review. Temporary event fencing on private property may need separate review when it affects sidewalks, rights-of-way, or pedestrian access. Fence permit fees are set by the city's adopted permit fee schedule and are typically modest for residential projects; current fees should be confirmed with the Building Department.
Installing a fence without the required permit or in violation of Chapter 130 height, materials, or setback rules is a zoning and code violation. Code Enforcement can issue stop-work orders, require after-the-fact permitting at higher cost, or order removal of a non-conforming fence under the City Code.
