Waukesha County does not require fences on ordinary residential lots. Fences are mandated in specific situations: a barrier of at least four feet around swimming pools, screening fences around off-street parking abutting homes, and secure fencing around commercial kennel runs and disposal sites.
While the county sets no general fence mandate, several targeted rules require one. Pool safety: walls or fences at least four feet high must surround the immediate pool area to deter unsupervised children. Parking screening: off-street parking (other than a single-family home) fronting a road or abutting a residential district must provide a planting screen, landscaped fence, or landscaped wall at least three feet high. Commercial dog kennels must fence outdoor runs and keep them at least 100 feet from adjoining lot lines. Refuse-disposal sites require a lockable non-flammable perimeter fence. Corner vision triangles must stay clear except for open, see-through fences.
Missing a required pool barrier or screening fence is a code violation; the county can order installation and impose forfeitures until compliance.
