Fences

Fence height is only part of the decision. A retaining wall, utility work, the property boundary and fence location can change what needs review.

What matters for this project.

Cedar City's FAQ lists fences up to 6 feet as building-permit-exempt, with location and setbacks still needing confirmation. Taller fences need consultation.

Iron County explicitly requires a permit and engineering above 6 feet. That statement is not treated here as a verified exemption for every shorter County fence.
