Fences are regulated in all areas of the City. In some subdivisions, fences are regulated by deed restrictions that run with the land and which are not related to City regulations.
A permit is required before a fence is installed or rebuilt and the location, height, materials and alignment of the fence are set out in the zoning ordinance. Generally, fences up to six feet in height are permitted for rear yard privacy; only small, low profile ornamental fences and walls are permitted in the front yard.
