Section 1102 C of the Cumberland County Zoning Ordinance sets core fence standards: three-foot front and seven-foot side/rear solid-fence limits, a special corner-lot rule keeping tall fences 20 feet off the secondary right-of-way, and a corner-visibility clearance at intersections.
Cumberland County Zoning Ordinance Section 1102 C governs the placement and height of fences and walls on unincorporated land under NCGS 160D. Beyond the three-foot front and seven-foot side/rear solid-fence caps, a corner-lot rule provides that 'When a corner lot follows two front yard setbacks... a solid fence or wall greater than three feet in height, but not exceeding seven feet in height, may not be erected within 20 feet of the right-of-way on the street deemed the secondary front yard.' Where a principal structure sits closer than 25 feet to a right-of-way, a fence may be no closer to the road than that structure. Section 1102 D adds a corner-visibility clearance. A county zoning permit is required.
Fences violating height, corner-lot, or visibility standards are zoning violations; a $500 civil penalty accrues $500 per day until corrective action is taken (Section 1704).
