Duluth residential fence height: 4 ft in front yard, 6 ft in rear/side yards. Corner lots have visibility triangle restrictions (typically 3 ft max within 25 ft of intersection). Fences over 6 ft require a building permit and possible variance.
Duluth UDC Article 6 (Development Standards) sets maximum fence heights: 4 feet in front yards (measured from the front property line to the front building line), 6 feet in side and rear yards. On corner lots, no fence or wall over 3 feet is allowed within a 25-foot visibility triangle measured from the corner to protect sight lines. Fences exceeding 6 feet require a building permit and may trigger setback requirements. Pool barriers must comply with IRC Appendix G separately.
Height violation: Stop-work order plus $100-$500 fine; fence may need to be cut down or moved at owner cost.
