Electrically charged fences are prohibited in all zone districts. Barbed wire is allowed where permitted, provided it is installed at least 6 feet above grade and does not exceed the permitted fence height. All fences must be located on the owner's property but no closer than 1 foot behind any public sidewalk. Gates cannot open into or over any public sidewalk, street, or alley. Decorative materials including tile or glass block may be incorporated with City Manager approval. Fences may be placed within easements, but the city is not responsible for fence damage during easement access.
Non-compliant fences: code enforcement action requiring modification. All fences must be maintained in good repair.
