Tijeras Ordinance No. 240 regulates fence and wall construction. Commercial properties require a solid 6-ft fence or barrier on property lines adjoining residential properties for visual screening. Fence materials must not pose health/safety hazards or disrupt rural character.
Tijeras zoning code regulates fence height by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited to 3 to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility triangle requirements at intersections. Retaining walls serving as fences have combined height calculated. Taller fences require a variance. Historic districts (Santa Fe, Taos) may require specific architectural styles including adobe and coyote fencing.
Code compliance notice. Modify or remove non-compliant fence. Fines if not corrected.
