Fence height limits in Marysville are set under MMC §27-804. No fence in a required front yard may exceed 4 ft. No fence in a required side or rear yard may exceed 6 ft. Architectural features (trellises, lattice) may be added to the top of side/rear fences within applicable standards.
Marysville's fence height regulations for city limits set maximum heights of 4 feet in front yard setback areas and 6 feet in side and rear yards. On corner lots, fences within the sight triangle (typically 25 feet from the intersection of property lines) must not exceed 3 feet to maintain visibility for motorists. Fences on slopes or retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in total height may require structural engineering review and a building permit. Decorative extensions (lattice, finials) may add up to 1 foot beyond the base height limit.
Fences exceeding height limits receive a notice to comply with a 30-day correction deadline. Failure to comply carries fines of $50–$200 per day until the fence is brought into compliance.
