The Tucson Municipal Code states that Property owners DO NOT need a permit for residential fencing unless you would like a fence taller than 7ft in height.

According to The City Municipal Code, a residential fence CANNOT exceed 7ft (unless a permit is obtained and plans are made by the fencing contractor). In most residential applications, the typical height of a metal corrugated fence is between 6 to 8 feet tall to ensure both basic security and privacy for standard single family homes.

However, chain-link often times is used in applications that require additional fence height requirements, such as sports fields. In these cases, Tucson Fence Company works with you to acquire the necessary permitting required for these applications.

Arizona is a “fence out” state, meaning that on open range you need to build a “lawful fence” if you want to keep wandering livestock off your property. The owner of the livestock is not required to “fence livestock in”

Neighbors Share Responsibility for a Boundary Fence. Boundary fences are considered mutually owned, so both parties are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the fence. If the neighbor’s dog destroys part of the fence, technically you’d both be responsible for the cost of repair.
