Quakertown Borough zoning (Chapter 27) establishes fence height limits by location. Front yard fences are limited to 3 feet maximum height and must be no closer than the property line. Rear and side yard fences are limited to 6 feet maximum height and must not be closer than the lot line or easement line. A screening fence is defined as a fence of sufficient height (not less than 6 feet) to effectively visually obscure the area being screened from adjoining areas. Parking lots visible from streets require 3-foot screening walls/fences/plantings. Parking lots adjacent to residential uses require 6-foot screening. Refuse areas outside buildings must be screened by a fence at least 6 feet high.
Fence exceeding height limits: zoning violation, modification required.
