Connecticut has no statewide fence-height preemption; New Milford sets fence heights through its zoning regulations, with front-yard fences limited more strictly than rear/side fences.
Connecticut doesn't set fence heights statewide, so in New Milford the numbers come from the town's own zoning regulations. The structure is the familiar one: front-yard fences are limited more strictly than side and rear fences, keeping the streetscape open while allowing privacy in back. The exact limits depend on your zone, and corner lots typically carry sight-line considerations near intersections. Before building — especially at the front of the lot or above common heights — get your zone's specific limits from the Planning & Zoning office.
