Topeka limits residential fence heights to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards under the zoning code.
Under Topeka's zoning regulations, residential fence heights are limited to 4 feet in the front yard and 6 feet in the side and rear yards. Corner lots must maintain visibility triangles at intersections. Fences over the standard height limits require a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Retaining walls combined with fences have cumulative height considerations. The Planning Department administers fence-related zoning questions.
Non-compliant fences receive code enforcement notices requiring modification within a set period.
