Hampton limits fence height to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards under the zoning ordinance. Corner lots have additional visibility requirements at intersections.
Hampton's zoning ordinance sets maximum fence heights by location. Front yard fences may not exceed 4 feet. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots must maintain a sight triangle at intersections where fences cannot exceed 3 feet to ensure driver visibility. Fences taller than the standard maximums may require a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Non-compliant fences receive code compliance notices. Owners must reduce height or obtain a variance. Fines apply for continued non-compliance.
