Other rules to know
- The City's FAQ (posted Jan. 15, 2022) says 'Building permits are required in Montreal and Gile any time you are Making Improvemements, Remodeling An Existing Structure & New Construction. (This includes roofs, windows and interior remodeling.' It does not mention fences, and no City zoning or fence ordinance was found online.
- The City's Forms & Permits page has a Building Permit Application (the research tool could not open it). No fence permit or fee schedule is posted.
- Iron County's Title 9 zoning applies only to unincorporated areas, so County fence rules do not apply inside the City.
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.
