Babylon fence heights are limited to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in rear and side yards under Zoning Chapter 213. Heights above 6 feet require a Zoning Board of Appeals variance.
The Town of Babylon Zoning Code regulates fence heights to preserve sightlines and neighborhood character. On corner lots, fences within the sight triangle are limited to 2.5 feet (30 inches) to preserve driver visibility. Pool fences must be at least 4 feet tall under NY Residential Code R326 but cannot exceed standard maximums without variance. Agricultural districts permit 8-foot deer fencing with permit.
Overheight fences 250 to 1,000 dollars and possible removal order. Variance applications cost roughly 350 dollars.
