Arvada regulates fence materials by zone. Wood, vinyl, wrought iron, and chain-link common. HOAs frequently impose stricter material requirements.
Arvada zoning code specifies approved fence materials. Residential zones allow wood, vinyl, chain-link, wrought iron, and tubular steel. Chain-link may be restricted in front yards. Barbed wire prohibited in residential zones. Electric fences restricted to agricultural areas. HOAs in Colorado frequently require specific materials (cedar, composite, wrought iron) and prohibit chain-link. Fence “good side” (finished side) typically faces outward toward neighbors.
Non-compliant materials: code compliance notice. May require replacement. HOA fines per CC&Rs.
