Fence installation in Ammon, Idaho
Fences for one of eastern Idaho's fastest-growing cities, where new subdivisions keep filling in toward the foothills.
Ammon lies directly east of Idaho Falls in Bonneville County. It had 17,694 residents in 2020, up 28 percent from 2010, after more than doubling between 2000 and 2010. That makes it the second-largest city in the Idaho Falls metro area. All that growth means a steady stream of new homes with bare backyards.
What Ammon homeowners usually ask for
- First fences for new-construction lots
- Vinyl privacy fences that match the HOA's approved colors
- Shared fences between neighbors on new streets
- Side-yard gates wide enough for a mower or trailer
- Chain link dog runs
New lots and HOA approval
Many Ammon subdivisions have covenants that set fence height, material and color, and some require written approval before you build. On a brand-new street, several neighbors may be planning fences at the same time, which is a good chance to agree on a shared line and split the cost. Find the corner pins before anyone digs, since new lots are often graded and landscaped after they're staked.
City rules
Ammon is its own city with its own planning and building staff, separate from Idaho Falls. Check with the City of Ammon on fence height, placement and whether a permit is needed for your lot, or have the contractor confirm it before the job starts.
Wind on the east side
Newer subdivisions often have few mature trees to break the wind. On those lots, reinforced vinyl posts, metal-framed gates and closer post spacing pay off.
