Your Access Control DISTRIBUTOR Fence ordinances from around the country As part of an ongoing and long- standing series, World Fence News of- fers this "snapshot" of building ordinances which affect fence installa- tions from municipalities across the United States and Canada. This infor- mation was taken from official inter- net sites, but you should always consult the appropriate building de- partments where you plan to work for specific requirements. Laramie, Wyoming Fences and walls are required to comply with all applicable zoning and building codes. Fences 6 feet high or less above grade do not require a building permit. Retaining walls over 4 feet high require a permit. Maximum fence heights Front lot line to the front of the principal building – 4 feet maximum. Front of the building to the rear lot line – 6 feet maximum. Fence location Fences may be built up to, but not over, the property line. It is advisable to have a lot surveyed if the exact lo- cations of the property lines are not known. Fences cannot cover or enclose gas meters, electrical meters or trans- formers, water meter vaults, water shut-off valves, or other utilities. Clear vision areas at intersections No obstruction that will obscure the view of motor vehicle drivers shall be placed within the triangular area formed by the adjoining street prop- erty lines and a line connecting them at points 45 feet from the intersection of said street property lines. Wall and fence materials Walls and fences shall be con- structed with any combination of the following materials. • Integrally-colored, split-face, or ground-face concrete masonry units (CMU). • Concrete masonry units that have been painted, stuccoed, or faced with another permitted material. • Stone (natural or simulated). • Brick. • Vinyl. • Wrought-iron or other decorative metal. • Wood (painted or stained), or other materials as approved by the planning commission. General fencing requirements Wood posts shall be of a species with natural resistance to decay, such as cedar, redwood or pressure-treated pine or fir with a minimum nominal dimension of 4"x 4". Galvanized steel posts, vinyl, con- crete, or other materials approved for outdoor use may be used. The recommended bury depth for a fence post or foundation is 42" for frost protection.
