Fencing Regulations

Fences, Walls, Hedges, and/or Shrubs are hereafter referred to as “fence”.

Fence height shall be measured from natural grade to the highest point of the fence. Measurement shall be taken within two feet of the fence on either side.

If the natural grade is undulating along the fence line and the property owner desires a straight line-of-sight on the top of the fence, the fence height may be measured from the highest point of the natural grade for a rear yard or interior side yard fence. A front yard or corner lot street side yard fence share be measured from the lowest point of natural grade if a straight line-of-sight is desired.

Front Yard – Maximum height allowed = four feet (no building permit required).

Rear Yard or Interior Side Yard – Maximum height allowed = eight feet with building permit approval and providing aesthetic appearance and nearby community transportation safety considerations are not compromised. Six foot or less allowed (no building permit required).

Corner Lot – Street Side Yard – Maximum height allowed = four feet (no building permit required).
