Boise gets hot, dry summers and cold winters with plenty of nights that freeze and thaw again by afternoon.
Boise limits fence height by where the fence sits. In general, fences inside the front-yard setback are kept low (36 inches solid, or 48 inches if it's see-through), and up to 6 feet is allowed along the side and rear property lines. Corner lots also have a clear-vision area near the street with a lower limit.
Rules and permit thresholds change, so confirm with City of Boise Planning and Development Services, or your HOA, before you build. A local fence contractor will know the current rules.
Common questions
How long does a wood fence last?
Typically 15–20 years for cedar with staining or sealing every few years, less for untreated pine.
Do I need my neighbour's permission?
Not usually for a fence on your own property, but it's good practice to talk first and to know exactly where the line is.
Do I need to know exactly where my property line is?
It helps a lot. If you're not sure, a survey or your plat map avoids building on a neighbour's land. Many contractors can advise on this.
