Fence height limits in Manitou Springs are established in the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC, Title 18). The city's historic character and hilly terrain mean fence placement and height are reviewed with neighborhood compatibility in mind.
Manitou Springs Title 18 (LUDC/Zoning) includes fence height standards for residential zones. As with neighboring El Paso County cities, front-yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet and rear/side fences to 6 feet. The historic and scenic character of the city means fence placement affecting views or the streetscape may receive additional scrutiny. Building permits for taller fences are issued by PPRBD (719-327-2880). Contact Manitou Springs Planning (719-685-4398) for zone-specific height limits and any design review requirements in historic districts.
