Fence installation in Bozeman

Backyard fences, gates and repairs across the city, from older streets near downtown to brand-new subdivisions on the edges of town.

Bozeman is the seat of Gallatin County and had 53,293 residents at the 2020 census. The city has grown fast, and much of that growth is in subdivisions to the west and south where nearly every new lot eventually gets a fence. Closer in, older homes near downtown and Montana State University often have aging picket and privacy fences that need repair or replacement.

What Bozeman homeowners usually ask for

  • First fences for new-construction backyards
  • Cedar privacy fences between closely spaced lots
  • Replacing rotted fences on older lots near downtown
  • Dog-run chain link and side-yard gates
  • Repairs after winter wind and snow

City rules and HOAs

Inside city limits, fence height and placement fall under the City of Bozeman's development code, which includes limits near streets and corners where a fence could block drivers' view. The Planning Division in Community Development answers zoning questions, and homes in historic areas may need extra review. Many newer subdivisions also have covenants with their own fence rules. Have your contractor confirm both before building.

Deer in town

Deer browse yards and gardens in many Bozeman neighborhoods. If you're fencing a vegetable garden or young trees, mention it, since a deer fence needs more height than a typical backyard fence.
