Does Your Happy Valley Backyard Still Have the Builder's Fence?

Most Happy Valley homes were built after 2000, many on the slopes of Mt. Scott and Scouters Mountain. We build first real fences for builder-grade backyards, stepped to the hill and up to 8 feet where the city allows.

Happy Valley is the newest city on our map: 71.6% of its homes were built since 2000, and a third in the 2010s alone. Many backyards still have the fence the builder put in, or none at all. Many were built to a builder's budget and are already leaning.

The city allows more height than most nearby towns. Generally a Happy Valley fence can be 4 feet in front of the home and 8 feet alongside and behind it, and up to 8 feet anywhere 30 feet back from the front property line. Corners and driveways must stay low so drivers can see.

Happy Valley Fence FAQ

How tall can my fence be in Happy Valley?
Generally 4 feet in front of the home and 8 feet alongside and behind it, measured at the highest point including lattice. Anywhere 30 feet back from the front property line, 8 feet is allowed regardless of where the house sits.
Do I need a permit for an 8-foot fence?
Yes. Happy Valley requires a building permit for fences 7 feet and taller, with a site plan of the house, the fence and the property lines. We prepare that for you.
What are the corner and driveway rules?
Within 25 feet of an intersection, fences are limited to 2.5 feet above the curb, or 4 feet if the fence is see-through and the posts are under 12 inches across. The same visibility rule applies where driveways meet streets and alleys.
Does the city say where my fence can go?
Generally no setback is required, except at corners and driveways. Watch for the right-of-way, though: the planter strip near the street is often public land. A survey is the only sure way to know your line.
Can my HOA be stricter than the city?
Yes. Private covenants and HOA rules can limit height, style and color beyond the city code. Send us your HOA rules and we'll build to them.
