What to submit
Other rules to know
- The Town says a building permit is required to alter or install a building or structure, and the zoning code's definition of 'structure' lists walls and fences; no fence-specific permit rule or residential fence height limit was found.
- Commercial, industrial and multi-building residential projects must provide 6 ft screening walls in some cases.
Before you dig
Call Arizona 811 before digging post holes (dial 811). Utilities have two full working days to mark their lines, so call at least two working days ahead. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
