Nassau County defers fence height to local code. Typical Nassau limits are 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards, measured from finished grade. Corner-lot visibility triangles impose lower limits.
Town of Hempstead Building Zone Ordinance 202 Sec 309, North Hempstead Chapter 70 Part 4, and Oyster Bay Chapter 246 each set fence height.
