Guilford County bans barbed and razor wire, electrified fences, concertina wire and flammable materials for ordinary fences. Agricultural livestock fencing and industrial low-voltage fences are the main exceptions.
UDO Section 6.4.B.2 prohibits several fence materials: fences made primarily of barbed or razor wire (except to enclose livestock in agricultural districts, and barbed-wire tops are barred in residential districts except for public-safety security fences); electrified fences (except agricultural livestock enclosure or the permitted low-voltage industrial option); fences made wholly or partly of readily flammable material such as paper, cloth or canvas; and concertina-wire fences. Low-voltage electrified fencing (max 12 volts) is allowed only in Light and Heavy Industrial districts under detailed conditions in Section 6.4.C.6.
Installing a prohibited-material fence violates the UDO; a hazardous fence is a nuisance the Enforcement Officer can order repaired, replaced or removed.
