Henderson Development Code Title 19 limits residential fences to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. Fences taller than 6 feet require a building permit. Corner sight triangles apply.
Henderson Municipal Code Title 19 (Development Code) sets residential fence heights at a maximum of 4 feet within the front yard setback and 6 feet in interior side and rear yards. Fences or walls exceeding 6 feet require a building permit from Henderson Building and Fire Safety, engineered drawings for walls over 6 feet or retaining more than 4 feet of soil, and may require a variance. Corner lots must maintain a clear sight triangle at intersections, typically 25 by 25 feet, with nothing above 3 feet that obstructs driver visibility. Barbed wire and razor wire are prohibited in residential zones. HOAs in master-planned communities (Green Valley Ranch, Anthem, Inspirada, Cadence, MacDonald Ranch, Seven Hills) typically require specific perimeter wall colors, materials, and heights and review applications before city permits can be issued.
Fence over limit without permit: stop-work order, daily fines, required removal, or variance fee under HMC Title 19.
