Orland Park limits residential fences to 6 feet in side and rear yards and 4 feet in front yards. Corner lots have additional sight-triangle restrictions. Fences over allowed heights require a variance from the Zoning Board.
Orland Park's Land Development Code restricts residential fence height to 6 feet maximum in side and rear yards, measured from grade to the top of the fence. Front yard fences (forward of the principal building line) are limited to 4 feet maximum and typically must be open-style or decorative. Corner lots must comply with sight-triangle requirements at intersections (typically a 25-foot triangle measured from the curb) where fences cannot exceed 30-36 inches. Pool barriers must meet a separate 4-foot minimum (see pool-barriers). Commercial properties may have higher allowances. Variances require application to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Contact Orland Park Building Division at (708) 403-6200.
Fences exceeding allowed heights without variance must be reduced or removed. Fines typically range from $50 to $500 per violation, with daily accruals possible until corrected.
