Loveland, CO Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

C, and bars any grade modification made solely to boost a fence's effective height. In the zone between the front property line and the principal structure's front facade, a limited solid material fence or wall tops out at four feet, while a fully solid fence or wall in that same strip is capped at three feet. Once a fence sits outside the front setback, either flush with or behind the front facade, it can rise to six feet three inches. For homes where the garage extends further forward than the living space, the front setback is measured to both the garage and the living portion of the house for height purposes.

Side and rear yard fences are capped at six feet three inches citywide, except in Employment and Industrial zones, where eight feet is allowed. The Director may also approve up to eight feet between adjoining residential and nonresidential uses if both property owners agree, and up to eight feet along arterial streets on the Transportation Master Plan to mitigate noise. Height limits do not apply to fences required to screen a specific use under the UDC or Colorado law, fences around publicly-owned recreation areas, or temporary construction fencing, which may be built as high as needed to protect the site during construction. 02.
