Winchester Fence Regulations: Fence Requirements Rules (2026)

Clark County Code Title 30 Section 30.56 governs residential fence standards. The default limits are 3.5 feet in the front yard setback, 6 feet in side and rear yards, and 3.5 feet in the vision triangle at corner intersections. Vision triangles extend 40 feet along each street from the corner on collector or arterial streets and 25 feet on local streets. On double-frontage or corner lots facing two streets the street-side yard is treated as a front yard for height purposes unless a specific master plan variance is approved. Masonry or block walls up to 8 feet may be approved with a Design Review when adjacent to nonresidential or arterial corridor. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing are prohibited in residential zones. Chain link is allowed but many HOAs in Summerlin, Anthem, and Mountains Edge prohibit it through private covenants. Hedges and plantings can effectively function as fences but are not regulated by height rules unless they intrude on the vision triangle or public right-of-way. All work must still meet the permit rules in Title 30.02 for walls over 6 feet or any masonry construction.
