Anoka County does not restrict fence materials inside cities; each city does. Coon Rapids prohibits electric, barbed, razor and wire fences, including chicken wire and single or multi-strand wire fences, in residential areas.
Banned fencing materials are set by city ordinance in Anoka County, not by the county. Coon Rapids expressly prohibits electric, barbed, razor and wire fences, a category that includes chicken wire and single or multi-strand wire fences. Improper fence maintenance, or facing the unfinished side (showing framing, supports or posts) toward a neighbor or street, is also not allowed. These bans typically apply in residential districts; agricultural or utility uses may differ. Because rules vary between Anoka County cities, verify prohibited materials with your local building or code-enforcement office before buying fencing.
Installing a prohibited barbed, razor, electric or bare-wire fence is a code violation and can result in a removal order and re-inspection by city code enforcement.
