Boulder City allows common fence materials like wood, masonry, vinyl, and wrought iron, with additional design review required in the Historic District.
Standard residential zones in Boulder City permit fences of wood, masonry block, stucco over block, vinyl, wrought iron, tubular steel, and chain link where allowed. Chain link is typically not permitted in front yards facing public streets in residential districts. Razor wire is prohibited in residential areas and limited in commercial or industrial zones. In the Historic District, the Historic Preservation Committee reviews materials to ensure compatibility with the original 1930s architecture, and prefers period appropriate materials such as stone, painted wood, and wrought iron. Pool barriers must meet structural and opening requirements regardless of material. All fences must be maintained in good structural condition; leaning, broken, or rotted fences can trigger Code Enforcement action.
