Fence placement rules come from your city, not Anoka County. In Coon Rapids fences may be built to the property line but must sit back 3 feet from any public right-of-way, trail or sidewalk easement, and no fence is allowed inside the 50-foot corner sight triangle.
Where a fence may sit is a city zoning matter in Anoka County (Minn. Stat. §462.357). Coon Rapids allows fences to the property line but requires a 3-foot setback from any public right-of-way, trail or sidewalk easement. Fences may cross a drainage and utility easement only if they do not impede runoff or interfere with utilities, and the city may remove them for easement access without liability. At every street intersection a sight triangle extending 50 feet along the curb line in both directions must be kept clear of any fence or wall. Establish your lot lines before building.
Fences in the sight triangle, in the right-of-way setback, or blocking utilities can be ordered relocated or removed at the owner's expense; the city bears no cost to replace a fence removed for easement access.
