Fences up to 72 inches (6 feet) are allowed anywhere on your lot except in the front yard setback, where the maximum height is 48 inches (4 feet). Corner-lot sight triangles limit height further.
Castle Rock Municipal Code 17.52.130(A) sets the town-wide fence height standard: up to 72 inches (6 feet) is permitted anywhere on the zone lot, except within the required front yard setback, where the maximum is 48 inches (4 feet). Fences taller than these standards need Board of Adjustment approval. Near street intersections and driveways, the Sight Visibility Triangle (17.52.120, per the Transportation Design Criteria Manual) restricts obstructions, effectively capping fences at about 3 feet in those corners so drivers keep clear sight lines.
Non-compliant fences are a zoning-code violation enforced by Code Compliance; the town can order removal or lowering and issue municipal citations if not corrected.
