Best Fence Company In Siloam Springs AR

Seven feet in the residential districts — R-E, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, M-H and R-O.

It is unusual. Most towns around here land on six or eight. Rogers and Springdale cap at six; Bella Vista and Prairie Grove allow eight.

Worth not confusing it with Fayetteville, where seven feet is the point a building permit kicks in rather than a height limit.

• Eight feet in C-1A, G-I, C-1 and C-2
• Twelve feet in I-1 and I-2

Twelve feet is the tallest allowance we have found in any city in the area.

Grade differences are exactly the sort of thing worth settling before the posts go in. On a sloping lot we work the heights out on site rather than assuming.

Not above three feet. The code says no opaque fence or wall higher than three feet may be erected on the property line that abuts the public right of way contiguous to the front setback.

Then five feet. The same sentence caps everything at five feet regardless of type.

So the practical answer on that front line is three feet if solid, five feet if open.

Same idea, different numbers. Prairie Grove uses 36 inches solid and 48 inches see-through. Siloam Springs uses three feet and five feet.

Two cities that reward open material with extra height, and neither one matches the other.

If you want height at the front, ornamental metal or another open style gets you two extra feet that a solid panel will not. If you want privacy, it belongs behind the front setback.

Yes. No person may erect, construct, place or replace a fence or dividing wall on a lot without first obtaining a fence permit.

Maintenance and repair of an existing fence or wall are exempt.

Relocations and extensions are not exempt — those need a permit.

$10.00 in residential zones and $25.00 in all other zones. Siloam Springs is the only city around here that publishes its fence permit fee.

Plans showing the property boundary lines, existing permanent structures, the proposed location of the fence, its dimensions, and the proposed construction materials.

Yes, and this is the part that affects scheduling: a site inspection is required prior to installation.

That is the reverse of Bella Vista, which inspects when the fence is finished. Here the city looks before you build.

Yes. The plans and the inspection scheduling are part of what we do.

Not in the city code. We checked the zoning chapter and the property maintenance code, and neither restricts fence materials.

Neither chapter contains a prohibition on barbed wire, razor wire or electric fencing, and there is no prohibited-materials list.

That is genuinely unusual. Springdale bans plywood, pallets, chicken wire and corrugated steel. Prairie Grove bans sheet metal and scrap wood. Bella Vista bans razor wire outright.

Within the height, placement and permit rules, the material choice is yours as far as the city code goes.

Two caveats worth saying plainly. A subdivision or HOA can impose its own material rules privately, and those are enforceable whatever the city says. And the permit application asks you to state your construction materials, so the city still sees what you are proposing.

Legal and advisable are different questions. We will build what the code allows, and we will tell you when we think something is a poor fit for a residential property.

Yes. No fence or wall may be erected within the sight distance triangle.

The apex is where the two street curb lines or pavement edges intersect. The shorter leg runs 18 feet from that apex along the abutting curb. The longer leg is set by the class of street, from a chart in the code. The hypotenuse joins the two.

Nothing stationary, permanent or temporary, taller than 30 inches — measured from the pavement elevation the vehicle rests on, not from the ground at your fence.

It is, and the measuring point matters. On a lot that sits above the road, 30 inches from the pavement can be less than 30 inches of visible fence.

Corner lots are where we most often adjust a plan, and it is cheaper to do that on paper.

Traffic control devices and structures put up by or for a governmental entity. Mailboxes and similar small features are not treated as structures for setback purposes.

You must confine the animal — in an adequate pen or enclosure, inside a house, garage or building, or by a chain or leash affixed to the collar.

So unlike Prairie Grove, tethering is an option here.

Yes, and it is specific. An outdoor dog pen must be located a minimum of 40 feet from any dwelling other than the owner’s, and must provide at least 100 square feet per dog over six months of age.

It is, and it is measured to the neighbour’s house, not the property line. On a tight lot that can decide where a pen can physically go, which is a layout question worth working through before you buy materials.

Yes, and most people do not know this one. Any wireless electronic or invisible underground enclosure or fence must be marked and identified by appropriate signage, sufficient to warn people lawfully on the property.

The sign is part of the installation here, not an optional extra.

Broadly defined: fenced pastures and fields, corrals, paddocks, yards, cages, coops, hutches, stables, stalls, chicken houses, barns and sheds. An ordinary fenced yard can fall under the pen rules.

Newly installed pens or enclosures where livestock are kept must be built not less than 100 feet from any residence or business establishment, and livestock keeping has to comply with the zoning code.

Not in the zoning chapter or the property maintenance code. Neither sets pool barrier requirements.

The city has adopted the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code by reference, and the pool barrier requirements come through that.

That the standard is a state one rather than a local number we can quote you off a city page. For a pool enclosure we work to the adopted code and confirm the current requirements with the building official rather than guessing.

One quirk worth knowing: for zoning purposes, an in-ground swimming pool is treated as a structure regardless of height, which matters for setbacks.

Yes. All accessory structures, including detached garages, fences and walls, must be maintained structurally sound and in good repair.

Not here. Bella Vista publishes a measurable trigger — more than five percent damaged or leaning ten degrees. Siloam Springs keeps it to the general standard.

That will not solve it here. An inoperative or unlicensed vehicle may not be parked, kept or stored on any premises unless fully contained within an enclosed structure.

No, and it is a good example of why these rules are worth checking. In Farmington, screening the vehicle behind a solid fence does satisfy the rule. In Siloam Springs and Bentonville it takes a building.

Whichever jurisdiction the property actually sits in. Siloam Springs city limits end at the state line, and West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma has its own ordinances.

Because everything on this page — the seven feet, the permit, the $10 fee, the 30-inch sight triangle — is Siloam Springs, Arkansas. None of it carries across the line.

We work across Northwest Arkansas. For a property on the Oklahoma side we would confirm the local requirements before quoting rather than assuming the Arkansas rules apply.

Section 102-80 of the Siloam Springs Code of Ordinances, in the zoning chapter. Adopted by Ordinance 08-26 and amended by Ordinances 15-24 and 20-32.

It is. The published code is codified through Ordinance 25-39, enacted in December 2025, which is more current than several neighbouring cities.

Yes. Security fence, screening, dumpster enclosures, gates and access control — and the commercial and industrial height allowances here are generous at eight and twelve feet.

We are in Farmington, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. What we bring is that we have read this city’s fence section rather than assuming it matches the town next door — which, as this page shows, it does not.
