Sedona, AZ Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

E(3), Height and Location, sets Sedona's baseline fence and wall heights by location on the lot. In a required front setback area, walls and fences cannot exceed four feet, with two named exceptions: properties in the CF and IN zoning districts can install a fence up to six feet tall in the front setback, and properties in the RS-70 and RS-35 districts can install a fence up to six feet tall in the front setback if it is at least 50 percent transparent. Along interior side or rear lot lines, walls and fences can reach six feet, as long as the fence doesn't extend into a required front setback area.

Corner lots in single-family residential districts get a split rule: in the exterior, or street-facing, side setback area, fences can run up to six feet from the front of the primary structure back to the rear property line, but must drop to four feet between the front of the structure and the front property line, protecting the corner sightline; every other district follows the same height limits as front setback walls in that street-side area. Any fence or wall built outside a required setback altogether must instead meet the height limit for primary structures and buildings, not the fence rules. E(4) allows fences up to eight feet for construction-site protection and for enclosing loading, service, refuse, or outdoor storage areas outside the front setback.
