Franklin County townships generally permit wood, vinyl, composite, wrought iron, chain-link, and masonry fencing in residential zones. Barbed wire and electric fencing are restricted to agricultural districts. Corrugated metal and salvage materials are often prohibited in front yards.
Township resolutions typically require the finished side of a fence to face the neighboring property. Hedge fences do not count toward height limits. Historic-district properties in Worthington Hills and Grandview areas may have additional material standards. Contact Franklin County at (614) 525-3322 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
