Peoria limits front yard walls/fences to 3 feet and side/rear yard walls to 6 feet in residential zones. View fencing (open design) may be allowed at greater heights in some areas.
Under Peoria's zoning code (Chapter 21), solid walls and fences in front yards may not exceed 3 feet. Side and rear yard walls and fences are limited to 6 feet. In some planned communities, view fencing (open design such as wrought iron or tubular steel) may be permitted at greater heights to preserve mountain and desert views. Corner lots must maintain sight visibility triangles. Retaining walls combined with fences have combined height limitations.
Non-compliant walls or fences result in code compliance notices and required modification.
