Tulsa Zoning Code Section 45.080 limits fences to 4 feet in the front (street) setback and 8 feet in the side and rear setbacks. Corner and double-frontage lots follow the same limits: 4 feet in street setbacks, 8 feet elsewhere. Fences exceeding these limits require a Special Exception from the Board of Adjustment (Section 70.120).
Tulsa zoning code regulates fence height by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited 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. HOAs in suburban OKC and Tulsa metro may impose lower limits or specific style requirements.
Code compliance notice. Modify or remove non-compliant fence. Fines if not corrected.
