Campbell County, KY Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

166(G) as barbed wire or sharp-pointed fences, and requires that wherever such fencing is otherwise permitted, it must begin at least 60 inches above ground level; the county exempts the A-1 agricultural zone and the R-RE residential-estate zone from that height floor, recognizing working farm fencing in those areas. Outside those two exempt zones, barbed wire cannot simply top a four-foot chain link fence at ground level, it must be mounted higher, typically as an added strand above a taller fence base. 166, groups fences into eight classes so the height and use rules elsewhere in the chapter can reference them precisely: masonry walls (Class 1), ornamental iron (Class 2), woven wire or chain link (Class 3), open wood or similar material over 50% open (Class 4), solid wood or similar under 50% open (Class 5), hedges (Class 6), barbed wire or sharp-pointed fencing (Class 7), and earthen or concrete flood-control walls (Class 8). 165 sight-triangle rule. 168(C)(2)(a). 277.
