Montgomery's zoning code regulates fence heights. Front yard fences are limited to 4 feet, while side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet in residential districts.
Under Montgomery's zoning regulations (Appendix C), residential fences in the front yard are limited to 4 feet in height. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots have special requirements to maintain sight-line visibility at intersections. Fences above these limits may require a variance from the Board of Adjustment. Commercial and industrial areas may allow taller fences with appropriate permits.
Non-compliant fences may result in code enforcement notices requiring modification or removal. Variances must be obtained before construction.
