Fence Company in Hatton, ND
Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental fencing for Hatton and the surrounding Traill County townships.
A fence in Hatton is usually about the same things it is anywhere: a dog that gets out, a yard that needs an edge, a pool that needs a barrier. The complication here is smaller and more practical than an ordinance. The city office keeps about twenty hours a week, and whether your project needs a permit is a question that gets answered at that desk rather than on a website.
The other half of the job is below ground and does not care about office hours. Posts driven past the frost line into stable soil hold their line. Posts floated in a shallow collar of concrete get lifted a little each spring, until the fence leans and the gates stop latching.
Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental, for homes, businesses and acreages in Hatton and the townships around it. We also offer fence repair. Tell us about your property and you will get a written quote covering materials, layout and cost. Who to call, and how the answer changes once you cross the city limits, is set out further down this page. See how we install.

Fence Rules in and Around Hatton, ND
Hatton publishes its ordinances by subject rather than as a single code, and fences are not among the subjects listed. What the city does say is short and clear, and the picture changes as soon as you cross the city limits. Here is both, with the official sources linked below.
- The city requires building permits, and asks residents to contact the city office to find out whether a particular project needs one. That call is the step that settles it.
- The city office is at 405 Railroad Ave E, on 701-543-3243. It is open Monday from 8 to noon, and Wednesday and Friday from 9 to 5, so the window for that call is narrower than in a larger town and worth planning around.
- The ordinance subjects the city publishes cover matters such as junk, curfew and fireworks. There is no separate fence ordinance among them, which is why a height or setback answer comes from the office rather than the website.
- Outside the city limits, Traill County takes over. The county states that permits are still required for all residential and for all commercial properties located in the townships.
- The county’s exemption is agricultural: permits are not needed for grain bins and farm buildings or sheds. That exemption belongs to the area outside the city limits, not inside them.
- The county follows the state planning and zoning century code and does not override township planning and zoning authority, so for a rural property the township can matter as much as the county.

Permits, city limits, the county’s agricultural exemption and long-term durability in Traill County conditions.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Hatton?
The city requires building permits and asks residents to contact the city office to find out whether a particular project needs one. The office is on 701-543-3243 and open Monday from 8 to noon, then Wednesday and Friday from 9 to 5.
How tall can a fence be in Hatton?
The city publishes its ordinances by subject, covering matters such as junk, curfew and fireworks, and there is no separate fence ordinance among them. A height or setback answer comes from the city office rather than from the website.
What if the property is outside the city limits?
Traill County takes over. The county states that permits are still required for all residential and for all commercial properties located in the townships, and directs anyone inside a city’s limits to that city’s hall or auditor instead.
Are farm buildings and grain bins treated differently?
Yes. The county’s exemption covers grain bins and farm buildings or sheds, which do not need a permit. It is an agricultural exemption that belongs to the area outside the city limits, and it does not extend to a residential fence in town.
Does the township matter for a rural property?
It can. Traill County follows the state planning and zoning century code and does not override township planning and zoning authority, so for an acreage the township is worth checking alongside the county.
What holds a fence straight through a Hatton winter?
Post depth and how each post is set. On open Traill County ground the frost drives deep, and a shallow footing lifts a little each spring until the line goes crooked.
Do you offer fence repair in Hatton?
Yes. On open Traill County ground, a post floated in a shallow collar of concrete gets lifted a little each spring until the fence leans and the gates stop latching, so the fix usually has to reach the posts. Whether a repair needs a permit follows the same rule as any other project: the city asks residents to check with the city office. See our fence repair page for how the work is done.
