Fencing Regulations

GUIDELINES
The City of Willmar does not require fence permits nor inspects them, but does have some guidelines and height regulations as follows:
-
Fences can be placed on the property line, but it is recommended to be placed a few feet off the line to allow proper maintenance of both sides.
-
The finished side of the fence (not the structural supports side of the fence) shall face the street or abutting property.
-
Fences shall be kept in good repair, painted, trimmed, and well maintained.
