Fence Company in Colwich, KS
Colwich Fence Installation
Colwich is a small Sedgwick County town northwest of Wichita, founded in 1887 — its name a portmanteau of "Colorado" and "Wichita" after the rail line that ran through it. Served by Renwick USD 267, Colwich is where Ovora Outdoor installs cedar, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental iron fencing on galvanized steel posts instead of wood.
Colwich's Planning & Zoning office, run out of City Hall at 212 W. Wichita Ave., administers permitting including fences; the office is the reliable source for current height and setback rules since they aren't posted as a standalone summary online. Colwich's own name is a portmanteau of "Colorado" and "Wichita," dating to the rail line that ran through it starting in 1887.

Fence Permits in Colwich
Colwich is a small city, and its zoning and subdivision regulations are administered out of City Hall, 212 W. Wichita Ave., Colwich, KS 67030, (316) 796-1025, open 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. and closed for lunch from 12 to 12:30 p.m. The city's Planning & Zoning page links out to its full Zoning Regulations and Subdivision Regulations documents rather than posting a fence-specific height or setback summary, so the most reliable way to confirm current rules — including whether a permit is required for a given fence type or height, and any corner-lot sight-triangle requirement — is to call or stop by City Hall before starting a project.
Colwich, Kansas at a Glance
Colwich is a compact town — just 1.34 square miles — northwest of Wichita in Sedgwick County, founded in 1887 along what was then the Colorado & Wichita rail line, which is where the name comes from. About 1,455 people called it home as of the 2020 census, and Renwick USD 267 is the local school district. Because the town's footprint is so tight, residential lots here often sit close to a neighbor's line, which is usually what brings up privacy-fence height and gate-placement questions in the first place.
