City of Wallis

The city requires building permits and instructs applicants to contact City Hall before starting a project. The city publishes forms for residential, commercial, utility, fire system, culvert, rental, and certificate of occupancy matters. Fence permits are required for fences 7 feet and over. A certificate of occupancy inspection is required whenever there is a change of use and/or ownership of an existing commercial building.

• Exempt Fences below 7 feet are not in the listed permit category (fence permits are required for fences 7 feet and over)

Note: Public permit page expressly states permits are required for fences 7 feet and over. No broader public exempt-work list was found.
