Pima County regulates fence materials by zone. Block/stucco walls are the Arizona standard. HOAs commonly mandate specific materials and colors.
Pima County zoning code specifies approved fence materials. Block walls with stucco finish are the dominant residential fence in Arizona - providing privacy, wind/dust protection, and desert aesthetic. Wrought iron is common for front yards and pool barriers. Chain-link may be restricted in front yards and many residential zones. Wood fences are less common due to sun damage and termites. Barbed wire prohibited in residential zones. HOAs frequently mandate block wall construction with specific stucco colors matching the home. Pool barrier fences must meet ARS §36-1681 requirements.
Non-compliant materials: code compliance notice. May require replacement. HOA fines per CC&Rs.
