Henderson fences must meet Title 19 height limits, Title 15 structural standards over 6 feet, setbacks, corner sight triangles, and HOA architectural approval. Barbed and electrified wire are prohibited.
Henderson Municipal Code Title 19 (Development Code) and Title 15 (Building Code) together govern residential fencing. Fences must be built on or inside the property line verified by survey if disputed, not exceed 4 feet in front yards or 6 feet in side and rear yards without a permit, maintain a 3-foot height limit in the corner-lot sight triangle, be constructed of approved materials such as masonry block (very common in Henderson), wrought iron, stucco-finish walls, vinyl, or wood (rarely approved by HOAs). Chain link is generally not allowed in master-planned communities. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing are prohibited in residential zoning. Fences must be maintained in good repair under Title 8 property maintenance rules. HOAs (Green Valley Ranch, Anthem, Inspirada, Cadence, Seven Hills, MacDonald Ranch) typically dictate exact stucco color, block type, and wrought-iron specifications to preserve community aesthetic.
Nonconforming fence: citation, required removal or modification under HMC Title 19. HOA violation: architectural fines up to the CCR maximum.
