No county fence ordinance. Fence height limits are set by individual city and town zoning bylaws. Typical MA residential limits are 4 ft in front yards and 6 ft in rear/side yards, but each municipality varies.
Worcester County zoning bylaw regulates fence heights by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited to 3.5 to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility requirements. Massachusetts spite fence law (MGL c.49 §21) prohibits fences over 6 feet erected maliciously to annoy neighbors. Taller fences require a variance from the zoning board of appeals. MA Zoning Act (MGL c.40A) grants municipalities zoning authority.
Code enforcement notice with correction period. Remove or modify non-compliant fence. Fines if not corrected.
