Fence height limits in Revere are set by the Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 (Ch. 17.24 Dimensional Regulations). Typical residential limits: 4 ft front yard, 6 ft side/rear yard. Building Division provides a fence/shed guide. Site Plan Review Committee reviews plans.
Revere's zoning ordinance under Title 17 sets fence height limits that vary by district. Under 780 CMR state building code, permits are required for fences over 7 feet. Massachusetts law prohibits spite fences over 6 feet built solely to annoy a neighbor. Front yard fences are typically more restricted than rear yard fences. Corner lot visibility triangles may apply for safety. The city's residential development patterns include a mix of single-family and multi-family areas with varying fence requirements.
Building without a permit for fences over 7 feet results in code enforcement. Zoning violations require modification or removal. Spite fences adjudicated in civil court.
