FENCES

 

Fence, walls and hedges may not exceed 6’ in height in any rear yard or side yard.

Sight obscuring fence may be installed up to 3’ in height in a front yard.

Non-sight obscuring fence may be installed up to 4’ in height in a front yard.

Nothing higher than 2’ may be placed on a corner lot (within the 40’ triangle sight zone.             For more information, please call the Building Official).

No fence or hedge is allowed within 3’ of a fire hydrant, mail box or driveway. 

Trees should be trimmed to prevent obstruction of view.

Shrubs planted 5’ apart or more are not considered a hedge.

Fences less than 6’ in height do not require a building permit unless it will be installed on footings.
