Fayetteville limits residential fence heights under the Unified Development Ordinance: typically 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. Corner lot visibility requirements apply.
Fayetteville's Unified Development Ordinance establishes fence height limits for residential properties. Front yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet in height. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots must maintain a clear visibility triangle at intersections where fences may be limited in height. Heights are measured from the finished grade. Fences exceeding permitted heights require a variance. The UDO provides specific requirements by zoning district. Pool barrier fences have separate minimum height requirements under the building code. Development Services handles fence-related permits and reviews.
UDO violation: fines and requirement to modify fence or obtain a variance.
