Mohave County zones its vast unincorporated desert, so the county zoning ordinance—not a blank slate—sets fence heights. Arizona caps nothing statewide; block and masonry walls dominate here for wind, dust, and privacy.
The Mohave County Planning and Zoning Division administers a zoning ordinance across unincorporated land around Fort Mohave, Golden Valley, and Mohave Valley, and that ordinance governs fence and wall height by yard location—commonly around six feet in side and rear yards and lower near the front. Corner lots must respect sight-visibility triangles so a wall near an intersection cannot blind drivers. No Arizona statute caps residential fence height, so the binding numbers come from the county ordinance and, inside Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Bullhead City, each city's own code. Block and stucco walls prevail against blowing dust and relentless sun.
A wall exceeding the county ordinance or blocking a corner sight triangle draws a Mohave County zoning correction notice. Inside a city, municipal code enforcement applies. HOA breaches are settled in civil court.
