Grove City enforces a sight-triangle rule at corner lots: no fence, wall, hedge, or other visual obstruction taller than 30 inches is allowed within the 25-foot triangle formed by intersecting street right-of-ways.
The sight-triangle standard protects drivers and pedestrians at intersections. Grove City code measures the triangle from the point where two street rights-of-way meet, extending 25 feet along each line. Within this area, anything over 30 inches tall including fences, shrubbery, and retaining walls is prohibited. Corner-lot homeowners must prune landscaping to maintain clear sight lines. Violations are cited by the code enforcement officer.
10-day notice to cure. Failure to trim or remove obstructions can result in the city performing the work and billing the property owner plus administrative fees.
