Other rules to know
- An older, undated city fence FAQ (zoning Chapter 17.08(11) and 17.10) says: fence permit fee $40; fences up to 6 ft in the main part of the lot; 4 ft maximum in the first 5 ft from the property line; fences in the traffic visibility triangle no more than 2 ft above the center of the intersection; no rule on which side faces out. This FAQ is not linked from the current Inspection page, so confirm these numbers with the city.
- Projects started before the permit is issued pay additional (doubled) fees.
Before you dig
Call Diggers Hotline at 811 (or file online at diggershotline.com) at least 3 business days before digging post holes. 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.
