Huntington Chapter 198 zoning limits fences to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards in residential zones. Fences over 6 feet require a Building Department variance or permit.
Town Code 198-20 and related sections govern fence heights. Residential front-yard fences are capped at 4 feet. Side and rear-yard fences can reach 6 feet without a permit; anything taller requires Zoning Board of Appeals variance. Commercial and industrial zones allow up to 8 feet. Waterfront properties on Huntington Harbor and Centerport Harbor have additional bulkhead and view-corridor restrictions. Historic districts (Old Town Green) may cap at 4 feet total.
Fines of $250-$1,000 plus order to remove or lower fence. Continuing violations accrue daily.
