Truckee Development Code Section 18.30.070 governs fences, walls, and hedges. Residential fences and walls on parcels with an established land use are exempt from land use permit requirements but must still comply with height and setback standards.
Section 18.30.070 of Truckee's Development Code regulates fence, wall, and hedge height and placement in all zoning districts. Residential fences on parcels with an established land use are exempt from a land use permit requirement, but height limits still apply: typical maximums are 6 feet in side and rear yards and 3-4 feet in front yards or within sight-distance triangles at corners. Walls that retain more than 2-3 feet of soil are treated as retaining walls and require a building permit under TMC Title 15. HOA CC&Rs in communities like Tahoe Donner and Glenshire often impose additional design and material restrictions.
Fences exceeding height limits or built in required setbacks are enforced as Development Code violations through Town code compliance, with administrative citations and orders to lower or remove the fence.
