Best Fence Company In Centerton AR

Because the code defines them separately. A boundary fence, a privacy fence and a swimming pool fence each have their own rules, and walls are treated differently again.

No other city around here is written this way, which is why generic advice tends to be wrong here.

Any fence or hedge on the side and rear property lines, or anywhere in the front yard, running approximately parallel to the lot line.

Height limits: five feet on side and rear lines, and three and a half feet in a front yard.

Any fence that is not a boundary fence or a pool fence. It may sit within five feet of side and rear lot lines, and it may go up to eight feet.

Not in a front yard, anywhere. And this is the detail people miss: a privacy fence must terminate along the side yards at the front corner of your house.

So it cannot run forward past the front face of the primary structure. That single sentence decides the layout of most Centerton back yard fences.

Hedges are treated as boundary fences, so the same five feet and three and a half feet limits apply. Planting is not a way around the rule.

A closed vertical barrier that prevents the passage of light, air and vision — masonry, brick, concrete, metal, wood or similar.

Five feet on side and rear lot lines, and three feet in a front yard.

By six inches, and it catches people out. A boundary fence out front may be three and a half feet. A wall may only be three.

If you are choosing between a low masonry wall and a fence along the front, that half foot may decide it.

No, and that is the reason you can have one out front at all. The code states plainly that fences and walls are not accessory structures or uses.

Accessory structures are prohibited in front yards in every residential district here. Because fences are carved out, a boundary fence is allowed where a shed would not be.

The city’s own answer: no, you do not need a permit to put up a fence.

But read the next question, because that is not the whole answer.

Privacy fences. The city answers that one separately, and the answer is different: if your fence is taller than seven feet, then yes, a permit is required.

Because Centerton allows privacy fences up to eight feet. So there is a one-foot band, between seven and eight feet, where the fence is perfectly legal but does need a permit.

Anyone who reads only the general answer will get this wrong on exactly the tallest fences.

Yes, and it is worth doing. If you are on a corner lot, the city asks that you call before the fence is installed so they can check there are no traffic visibility issues.

That is a standing request in their own words, not a formality.

Code Enforcement at City Hall, 200 Captain Kelley Drive, (479) 795-2750. Planning is at extension 302.

Yes. We check the height, the category and the corner lot question before we quote, and we make that call for you.

Yes. It starts at the property corner and runs at least 25 feet along the right of way in both directions.

The clear visibility zone must be free of visual obstructions, natural or man-made, temporary or permanent, other than traffic control devices.

The zone runs from two and a half feet above the top of the curb to ten feet high.

It is the tallest clear zone of any city nearby, and it catches tree canopy and landscaping as well as fence.

For a fence the practical effect is simple: inside that triangle, nothing above two and a half feet.

Usually a boundary fence outside the triangle and nothing tall inside it. This is exactly why the city asks corner lot owners to call first, and why we walk the corner before quoting.

Swimming pool fences and gates must have a minimum height of six feet and a maximum of eight.

Correct, and it is the single biggest difference between Centerton and its neighbours. Bentonville, Springdale and Prairie Grove all work from a 48-inch minimum.

Centerton requires a foot and a half more. If you are reusing a plan or a quote from another town, this is where it fails.

Gates must have child-resistant latches.

Then it takes the maximum height of that fence instead. A pool enclosed by an eight-foot privacy fence is fine.

The code addresses swimming pool fences without carving out above-ground pools, and in-ground pools are separately treated as structures for setback purposes. Worth confirming your specific setup with the city before you build.

You must confine it — within an adequate fence or enclosure, inside a house, garage or other building, or by a chain or leash attached to a substantial stationary object.

Yes, and this is where Centerton gets specific. The chain or leash must be no less than 15 feet.

And it may not be anchored to a stationary object closer than 15 feet to the nearest residential structure other than your own.

That is what the code says. On a tight lot it can rule out the obvious spot, which is often why people end up fencing instead.

Centerton does not offer a stronger-pen option. Vicious dogs are banned entirely from the city limits and may not be owned or kept here.

That is different from Springdale, which sets a 150 square foot locked pen standard instead.

More than four dogs or four cats, or four combined, over three months old makes it a private kennel, which needs an annual permit and an inspection.

Yes, and it is easy to miss. Every dog and cat over four months must be licensed and microchipped. The one-time fee is $20 spayed or neutered, $40 if not, and it includes the chip.

No. Swine, goats, roosters, sheep and any hooved animals are prohibited within the city limits.

They are the express exception, and the exception is about fence. Horses and cows may be kept on an enclosed pasture containing one acre for each animal.

So the fencing is not an afterthought — the enclosed acre is what makes them legal.

Consistent with it. In the Residential Estates district, small livestock is limited to one head per acre, provided they are properly fenced in or otherwise confined.

They are under Animal Control supervision. If an enclosure becomes unsanitary or a harbour for flies, mosquitoes or rats, written notice is served and you have five days to correct it.

Allowed, but they may not run at large and must be confined in a coop or pen with adequate space and protection from the elements. Roosters are prohibited in the residentially zoned parts of the city.

The animal code does not state a number the way Prairie Grove or Bella Vista do. Confirm with the city before you build a large run.

A landscaped buffer not less than ten feet wide along all property lines, including a six-foot opaque screen along all abutting residential properties of lower density.

Any dumpster or refuse area must be screened completely from view, using a masonry enclosure and an access gate made of opaque material.

It must be sized so servicing does not damage it, sit no closer than five feet from the fascia of any adjacent structure, and any damage must be repaired within 30 days.

Yes. The opaque metal gate on a masonry enclosure is standard work for us.

Both light and heavy industrial districts require a continuous visual buffer — landscaping, berms, fencing or walls — located no less than ten feet from the lot lines.

Yes, and it is a useful argument for fence over planting: screening must be equally effective in the winter and the summer seasons. Deciduous planting alone will not satisfy that.

Because most Centerton neighbourhoods are new. New subdivisions mean recorded easements, drainage ways and utility runs that are still fresh, and HOA covenants on top of the city code.

No. City code and private covenants are separate. Your HOA can be stricter than the city, and it can enforce that privately.

We build to whichever is tighter and tell you where the two differ.

Written notice from the Enforcement Officer first. If it is not corrected it goes to the City Attorney, and each day is a separate offence with fines up to $250 a day.

It is avoidable. Almost every case we see comes from a height or placement mistake that would have taken one phone call to prevent.

Title 14 Zoning of the Centerton Municipal Code, based on Ord. No. 97-8 with amendments through 2023, plus Title 6 Animals and Fowl.

The city publishes its full code as PDFs by title on the Municipal Code Book page at centertonar.us, and permits run through the city’s online portal.

Yes. Security fence, screening, dumpster enclosures, gates and access control.

We are in Farmington, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

What we bring is that we have read this city’s three fence categories, its six-foot pool minimum and its seven-foot permit trigger — none of which match the town next door.
