Fence installation in Salem
Local know-how
Salem sits in southern Utah County next to Spanish Fork and Woodland Hills, centered on Salem Pond. It still has room to breathe, with larger lots and open fields alongside newer subdivisions that keep growing.
Salem keeps solid fences low near the street: 36 in within 25 ft of the street property line. Farther back, a 6 ft vinyl privacy fence or Trex composite fence gives full privacy, and on bigger lots vinyl ranch rail marks the property line while keeping the open feel.
Before you pick a style, here is what Salem allows.
Fence rules in Salem
Know before you build
-
Within 25 ft of the street property line, solid (vision barrier) fences, walls and hedges stop at 36 in, unless the Public Works and Public Safety directors approve more after reviewing the site.
-
Fences that are not vision barriers may be 6 ft.
-
Corner lots must keep a clear view of the intersection for approaching drivers.
Permits
Salem’s zoning code doesn’t spell out a permit for a standard fence. A taller solid fence near the street needs approval from the Public Works and Public Safety directors. We confirm what your fence needs with the city before we build.
What it means for your fence
A 6 ft privacy fence fits once it is more than 25 ft back from the street property line, which on most lots means the side and back yard. Closer to the street, solid fences stop at 36 in; an open ornamental steel fence is not a vision barrier, and we confirm its height with the city.
Source: Salem City Code Title 14, §14-1-090 (rev. Sept. 2022). Checked October 16, 2026. Codes change and HOAs can be stricter. We confirm the rules for your lot at your free estimate.

-
How much do you want to see through it? For full privacy, choose vinyl, Fence Trac or Trex. To keep the view, choose ornamental steel or semi-privacy vinyl.
-
What look is your home and street? Match the style tag: Transitional, Classic, Modern or Traditional. We design to your HOA’s guidelines too.
-
How little upkeep do you want? Vinyl just needs a rinse. Ornamental steel, Fence Trac and Trex never need stain or paint.

What neighbors say
In their words
"Atlas did a phenomenal job on our black 4 ft metal fencing! Our yard was not just a square to work with. We have different levels of cinder block retaining walls that are curved… Tyson went above and beyond to make the necessary alterations to make everything fit seamlessly and it turned out better than we could have expected!"
"Tyson was on the ball and communicated professionally and often. Every other fencing company we looked at ghosted us, or was flaky. Highly recommend!"
"Atlas did a FANTASTIC job on our fence. The customer service and communication was excellent. Very professional, and wonderful work!"
Salem fence questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Salem?
Salem’s zoning code doesn’t spell out a permit for a standard fence. A taller solid fence near the street needs approval from the Public Works and Public Safety directors. We confirm what your fence needs with the city before we build.
How tall can a fence be in Salem?
Solid fences stop at 36 in within 25 ft of the street property line. Elsewhere, and for fences that are not vision barriers, 6 ft. Codes change and HOAs can be stricter, so we confirm the rules for your lot at your free estimate.
Does my HOA have a say?
It can. HOA rules can be stricter than Salem's code on height, material and color. We design to your HOA's guidelines; approval itself goes through your HOA, so bring your guidelines to the estimate.

You get a firm written quote within 24 hours of your free on-site estimate, and for most projects before we leave. When you sign, we lock in your installation window and keep you posted along the way.

Do you handle utility marking in Salem?
Yes. Before anything goes in the ground we have Blue Stakes mark underground utilities, and we pull any permit your fence needs.
