Barbed wire and electrified fences are banned in every residential zone district in Castle Rock. Barbed wire is only allowed as up to four strands atop security fencing in industrial zones. Non-durable materials like chicken wire are discouraged.
CRMC 17.52.130(B) prohibits barbed-wire fencing in any zone district town-wide, with a narrow exception allowing up to four strands on top of security fencing in Industrial Zoning Districts. Section 17.52.130(C) prohibits electrified fences in every zoning district within the Town. The town's residential-property guidance also discourages non-durable materials visible to the public (plywood, chicken wire). These material restrictions apply on top of the height limits, so a fence must satisfy both to be compliant.
Barbed-wire or electric residential fences must be removed; Code Compliance issues correction notices and may cite continued violations.
