Connecticut has no statewide fence-height preemption; Danbury sets fence heights through its zoning regulations. Front-yard fences are typically limited more strictly than rear and side-yard fences in residential zones.
Fence height, location and corner-visibility (sight-line) rules are administered by Danbury Planning and Zoning. Property owners should confirm the maximum height for their zone and yard before building, as taller fences may require a variance.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
