Will County §155-14.90 governs fences and walls in unincorporated areas. Standard residential limits follow typical Illinois patterns (4 feet front yard, 6 feet side/rear). Specific heights vary by zoning district. Contact the Will County Land Use Department for height requirements in your specific zoning district.
Will County zoning code regulates fence height by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility triangle requirements at intersections for traffic safety. Retaining walls serving as fences have combined height calculated. Taller fences require a variance from the zoning board. HOAs may impose lower limits or specific style requirements.
Code compliance notice. Must modify or remove non-compliant fence. Fines if not corrected within deadline.
