Summary
Edmond doesn't set a blanket yard fence height, but zoning bars fences, walls, and plantings between 3 and 7 feet tall inside the sight triangle at street corners, and subdivision fences must meet Title 22 design standards.
No construction, planting or grading shall be permitted to interfere with the sight triangle between the heights of three and seven feet as measured from the crowns of the adjacent public rights-of-way, except as approved by the Planning Director.(4)However, trees having limbs and foliage trimmed in such a manner that no limbs or foliage extend into the unobstructed visual clearance shall be allowed, provided they are located so as not to create a traffic hazard.

Full Breakdown
Edmond's zoning code doesn't publish a general front/side/rear fence-height number for residential lots. What it does regulate is visibility at intersections: no construction, planting, or grading may interfere with the corner sight triangle between three and seven feet high, measured from the adjacent street crowns, unless the Planning Director approves an exception. The sight triangle's legs run 25 feet along the right-of-way from the corner. Separately, Title 21's subdivision rules require that any fence built in a new subdivision comply with Title 22's design requirements, and swimming pools must be enclosed by a fence or wall at least 4 feet high.
Violations & Fines
Building or growing anything between 3 and 7 feet tall inside the corner sight triangle without Planning Director approval violates the zoning code and can be ordered removed.
