Do you need a permit?
Colorado Springs does not require a permit for a fence.
Fences are allowed most anywhere on private property without a permit as long as certain standards are met. Any fence exceeding seven feet in height is considered an accessory structure and requires a building permit issued through Pikes Peak Regional Building Department.
