Blount County Fence Questions, Answered
The city and county rules here differ by four feet. Which side of the line you are on decides what you can build.
How tall can a fence be in unincorporated Blount County?
Blount County exempts fences under ten feet from both building permit and setback requirements, provided vision clearance rules at intersections and driveways are met. At ten feet or above, formal review and a permit apply.
How is that different inside Maryville?
Considerably. Under the City of Maryville Land Development Regulations a fence over six feet is classified as an accessory structure and must meet Article XIV setbacks — which usually means it can no longer sit on the property line. Four feet of difference within the same county.
Is there a setback from the property line in the county?
The ordinance does not state one for standard residential fences under ten feet. But that is not the same as anywhere — the fence must sit entirely on your land and must not encroach into a right-of-way or easement. Where the line actually is remains your responsibility.
What is the vision clearance requirement?
The permit and setback exemption is conditional on meeting vision clearance at intersections and driveways. A tall solid fence blocking sightlines at a corner or driveway is the one that draws a complaint — and loses the exemption.
Are there rules for multi-family or manufactured home parks?
Yes, a separate requirement: a solid fence of at least six feet along side and rear property lines as a mandatory perimeter buffer.
Does a retaining wall count toward fence height?
In the City of Maryville it does, to the extent it rises above the finished grade on the high side. Put a six-foot fence atop a three-foot wall and you may not have a six-foot fence in the city's eyes. Terraced lots are common here.
What about the Historic District?
Properties in the Maryville Historic District require approval from the Historic Zoning Commission before installation — an application and a review, with views on material. Budget time for it.
What fence suits acreage toward Townsend and Walland?
Woven wire, board fence and high-tensile for livestock and long runs. Corner and gate bracing determines whether the fence holds, not the wire. As you move toward the Smokies the ground gets steeper and rockier, which changes both method and price.
Does the foothill terrain add cost?
Yes. Slope means stepping or racking the fence to follow grade — commonly 10 to 25 percent added to installed cost — and shallow rock means post holes that will not simply auger. Ask any contractor what they do when they hit rock.
Do I have to call 811 before digging?
Yes — post holes count as excavation. Budget about three business days. On county acreage, private runs to barns, wells and outbuildings are common and never marked by the locate. Full 811 guide.
