SLCRO bans barbed wire and electrical fencing in residential areas of unincorporated St. Louis County. Property-maintenance rules also prohibit fences with peeling paint, rust, or structural damage.
The Property Maintenance Code §1110.302.7 (Exterior Property Areas: Accessory Structures) treats fences as accessory structures. Materials must be structurally sound. Beyond the barbed wire / electric ban, individual cities layer on additional restrictions — Ladue and Frontenac restrict chain-link to backyards only; Clayton requires HARB approval in historic districts.
Notice of Violation; removal of nonconforming materials; up to $1,000 fine per §701.180 general penalty.
