Compliance Items:
- Fence must be placed within the property lines & may not encroach on any public right-of-
way or on any private roadway or easement for ingress & egress. - Do not rely on the location of sidewalks, driveways, alleys, streets or neighbor’s fences for
an assumed location of the property lines (the location of the property lines should be
determined by the dimensions provided on the plat of survey or consider using a
professional land surveyor). - Any fence located within the front yard must: (1) be at least 18” from the public sidewalk;
and (2) have the property corners staked, a string line run between the property corners
and post holes inspected and approved prior to installation of the fence. - Fence may not exceed 6’6” from existing natural grade to the top of finished fence posts.
Maximum height of 6’6” anticipates that a panel of no greater than 6’ will be used. - Fences may not create a hazard to vehicular or pedestrian traffic and must comply with
the minimum corner visibility standards diagrammed on the next page. - See Description of Property/Description of Fence form for additional compliance items.
