Salt Lake City Permits
If you are interested in installing a new fence, be aware of your city and county fence requirements. For Salt Lake City, any fencing projects require a permit to be attained before the installation begins. This includes both new fences and replacing old fences. Below are the items the city requires.
- Permit application. This application can be found at the city offices.
- Identifying plans. These include a plot map of the property, identifying the location and height of the proposed fence.
- Permit fee. There is a small permit fee. Contact your city for exact costs.
For every home improvement project, including fences, all utilities need to be marked by calling Blue Stakes. This is for safety and liability issues. Once Blue Stakes has been called, the city is alerted to a new fencing project going in to your property. If you have not gotten a permit for the new fence project, and you have proceeded with the fencing, the city will likely give a hefty fine.
