Pinal County requires fences to keep corner-lot sight visibility clear: fences over 24 inches are not permitted within the sight visibility triangle, and no fence, structure, sign or planting may block traffic visibility across the corner.
Beyond height, the Pinal County Development Services Code imposes a corner-lot visibility requirement. On any corner lot, fences exceeding 24 inches in height are not permitted within the sight visibility triangle, and the code states that no fence, structure, sign or planting shall be erected or maintained within 20 feet of the property corner so as to interfere with traffic visibility across the corner. There are no setbacks for trees and other foliage generally, but the corner sight-triangle rule still applies to plantings. Front-yard fencing must also meet the open-fencing standards. These requirements apply to unincorporated county land; cities set their own visibility standards.
A sight-obstructing fence, wall, sign or hedge on a corner lot is a code violation; the county can order it lowered or removed to restore traffic visibility.
