Boulder City Title 11 limits front yard fences to 3 to 4 feet and side and rear yard fences to 6 feet, with stricter rules in the Historic District.
Boulder City Municipal Code Title 11 sets fence height limits by zone and yard location. In most residential zones front yard fences are limited to 3 to 4 feet tall depending on district, while side and rear yard fences can reach 6 feet. Corner lots must maintain clear sight triangles at intersections with lower height limits where driveways and roads meet. The Historic District, which encompasses the original town built in the 1930s for Hoover Dam workers, requires Historic Preservation Committee review of fence materials and design to keep the historic streetscape intact. Commercial and industrial zones allow taller fences often up to 8 feet including barbed wire above 6 feet. Fences cannot obstruct drainage or create a nuisance.
