Question 1

Do you need a permit for your Retaining wall in Salt Lake City?

Accepted Answer

Yes, per the Salt Lake City building services, retaining walls and fences require permits (https://www.slc.gov/buildingservices/building-permits/faqs/)

Question 2

Do I need a professional to install my retaining wall?

Accepted Answer

For small walls under 3 feet, DIY is possible. But for taller or load-bearing walls, hiring a pro is best. They ensure proper drainage, a strong foundation, and code compliance—helping you avoid costly repairs down the road. A professionally built wall lasts longer and looks better.

Question 3

Are permits needed for a retaining wall?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your location and wall height. Walls over 4 feet often require permits and engineering approval. If your project affects drainage or property lines, extra approvals may be needed. Check local rules or talk to a professional before starting to avoid surprises.

Question 4

What is a retaining wall?

A retaining wall holds back soil on slopes, preventing erosion and creating level spaces. It also adds structure and beauty to your yard. Materials like stone, concrete, and brick offer different looks and strengths. A well-built wall improves drainage and can increase your property’s value.

Question 5

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Herriman Utah?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a permit may be required for a retaining wall in Herriman, Utah, depending on the height of the wall and what it supports.

According to the City of Herriman, a building permit is required for any retaining wall that has 4 feet or more of unbalanced fill behind it. A permit is also required for retaining walls of any height if the wall is supporting a surcharge, such as a driveway, structure, fence, or other load.

Retaining walls that are under 4 feet in height and do not support a surcharge typically do not require a permit. However, requirements can vary based on site conditions, including drainage, slope, property lines, and easements.

Homeowners should always verify permitting requirements with the City of Herriman before construction.

Question 18

Does Eagle Mountain have a secondary water system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Eagle Mountain is beginning to implement a secondary (pressurized irrigation) water system for sprinkler systems, but availability is currently limited.

As of late last year, Eagle Mountain started rolling out secondary water infrastructure in select areas. This system is being installed primarily in new subdivisions as they are developed. Not all existing neighborhoods have access to secondary water, and availability depends on whether the subdivision was designed and approved with secondary water service.

For homes in newer developments, sprinkler systems may be connected to secondary water if the infrastructure is in place. In established neighborhoods, irrigation systems typically remain connected to culinary water unless future expansion occurs.

Because the secondary water system is still expanding, homeowners should confirm availability with the city or their subdivision developer before planning or modifying a sprinkler system.
