Columbus limits residential fence heights to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards under the zoning code. Corner lots must maintain sight triangle visibility at intersections.
Under Columbus's zoning ordinance, residential fences in the front yard area are limited to 4 feet in height. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots must maintain clear sight triangles at intersections for traffic safety. Fences exceeding standard heights may require a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Retaining walls with fences on top may have combined height restrictions. The consolidated government's planning department administers fence regulations.
Fences exceeding allowed heights without a variance are subject to code enforcement notices requiring modification.
