Fence height is a township and city matter across Saginaw County. Saginaw Charter Township caps front-yard fences at three feet and side or rear fences at six, with the street side of a corner lot held to three feet.
There is no countywide fence height rule in Saginaw County; each city and township sets its own through zoning. In Saginaw Charter Township, fences in the front yard may not exceed three feet, while side and rear yard fences are limited to six feet. On a corner lot the street side yard is held to three feet so drivers can see, and plantings within thirty feet of the pavement cannot block the view between three and eight feet high. The City of Saginaw, Frankenmuth, and Bridgeport Township each apply their own limits, so confirm before you build.
A fence built over the local height limit draws a zoning violation notice, and the community can order it lowered or removed and assess fines until it is corrected.
