Maricopa, AZ Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

Fence and wall heights in the City of Maricopa (Pinal County) are governed by Maricopa City Code 18.80.090. No fence or freestanding wall within or along the boundary of a required front or street-side yard may exceed three and one-half (3.5) feet. In residential districts, side and rear yard fences and walls are limited to six (6) feet. In commercial, mixed-use, and industrial districts, side and rear yard fences may reach eight (8) feet. A taller, visually transparent and nonopaque fence over 3.5 feet may be allowed in a front or street-side yard only through a modification granted by the hearing officer. The code also permits one entry gateway, trellis, or other entry structure in the required front or street-facing side yard, provided its maximum height or width does not exceed 10 feet. Because much of Maricopa consists of master-planned subdivisions, many homeowners are also bound by private HOA standards that can be stricter than the city limits above; the city code sets the ceiling, but an HOA may further restrict materials, color, and height. Always confirm both city and HOA rules before building.
