Chandler regulates fence and wall heights through the Unified Development Manual. Residential fences are generally limited to 6 feet in side and rear yards and 3 feet in front yards with sight visibility requirements.
Chandler's zoning regulations establish fence height limits by location on the property. Side and rear yard fences in residential zones may be up to 6 feet tall. Front yard fences are limited to 3 feet to maintain visibility and neighborhood character. Corner lot fences must comply with sight triangle requirements to ensure traffic safety at intersections. Block walls along major streets may have different standards. The Unified Development Manual (UDM) contains specific requirements for fence heights, materials, and placement. Building permits may be required for masonry walls.
Non-compliant fences are addressed by Chandler's Neighborhood Preservation division. Property owners receive notice to modify or remove fences that exceed height limits.
