Ogden Utah Fence, Driveway, and Shed Land Use Permit Guide

Ogden fences require a land use permit, with site drawings showing location, height, material, property lines, and buildings, and tall or masonry/concrete fences can trigger building review.

Permit takeaway

Ogden's fence regulations say homeowners need to apply for a land use permit before installing a fence, and fences over six feet or masonry or concrete walls can require Building Department review.

Zoning and placement

Fence location must stay on private property outside public right-of-way, and the approved plan is checked against zoning height and placement rules.

Building and trade review

Fence applications need a drawing showing the site, fence location, height, material, relationship to property lines and buildings, and reinforcement details for masonry or concrete walls.

Call before applying when

Call before installing a fence on a corner lot, near public right-of-way, using masonry or concrete, over six feet, near a driveway, or with uncertain property lines.
