Little Rock limits residential fence heights to 4 feet between the building setback line and the street, and 6 feet elsewhere on the property. Support posts may extend up to 2 feet above the allowed fence height including ornamental features.
Under Little Rock's zoning code, fences in residential zones are limited to 4 feet in height in the front yard area (between the required building setback and the street right-of-way). Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Fence posts and columns may exceed the maximum by up to 2 feet, including ornamental caps or finials. Corner lots must maintain sight triangle clearances at intersections. Retaining walls with fences on top may have combined height limits.
Fences exceeding height limits are subject to code enforcement notices requiring correction. Failure to comply may result in fines.
