Everett limits residential fences: typically 6 feet in rear/side, 3 to 4 feet in front yard. Corner lots have visibility requirements.
Everett zoning code regulates fence height by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited to 3 to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility triangle requirements at intersections. Retaining walls serving as fences have combined height calculated. Taller fences require a variance. HOAs may impose lower limits. Fences in critical areas (wetlands, steep slopes) may trigger additional review under GMA/SEPA.
