Fence installation in Cedar City, Utah
Vinyl, wood and chain link fences and gates across Iron County's largest city.
Cedar City had 35,235 residents in the 2020 census, making it the largest city in Iron County. It's home to Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespeare Festival, and many neighborhoods mix student rentals, long-time family homes and newer construction. Fence jobs vary just as much, from replacing a tired picket fence on an older lot to fencing a bare backyard in a new subdivision.
Typical Cedar City projects
- First privacy fences around new-construction backyards
- Replacing rotted or leaning wood fences on older lots
- Rental property fences that need to hold up to heavy use
- Dog runs and side-yard gates
- Short front-yard fences that stay within the setback limit
What does the city's code say?
Side and rear fences can be up to 6 feet. Front setback fences and hedges are generally held to 30 inches, and on corner lots nothing over 30 inches can block the sight triangle measured 30 feet back from the intersection. Fences near a driveway on a corner lot have their own clearance rules. Keep fences at least one foot from a sidewalk and three feet from a fire hydrant, and get a permit from the Building Inspector before putting anything in the public right-of-way.
