Pickerington zoning limits residential fences to 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards. Corner lots have additional height limits in the street-facing yard to preserve sight lines.
The Pickerington zoning code establishes standard fence heights for residential districts: up to 6 feet in side and rear yards and up to 4 feet in front yards measured from the adjacent natural grade. Corner lots must meet both front-yard limits on each street frontage. Taller fences may be permitted for specific uses such as pool enclosures (see pool fencing) or commercial screening with Planning approval.
Fences exceeding allowed height must be lowered or removed under a zoning abatement order. Continued violations draw misdemeanor citations with fines up to 250 dollars per day.
