Marana, AZ Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Marana Land Development Code Title 17 establishes material standards for fences and screen walls throughout the town. All screen walls enclosing individual side and rear lots within subdivisions must be uniform throughout the development and designed to incorporate color, contrasting materials, or design elements. Uncolored grey concrete block is specifically prohibited. Common approved materials include painted or stuccoed block, colored split-face block, and natural stone. In foothill communities such as Dove Mountain and Tortolita Highlands, natural stone walls are encouraged to harmonize with the Sonoran Desert landscape. View fencing using wrought iron, tubular steel, or similar open materials is required in locations backing onto natural washes, wildlife corridors, common open space, or significant view sheds. This preserves sightlines and allows wildlife movement. Chain link fencing is generally discouraged in front-facing and street-visible applications in master-planned communities and may be prohibited by HOA CC&Rs. Barbed wire and razor wire are restricted to agricultural and industrial zones and prohibited in residential areas. HOA architectural review committees in Marana communities maintain approved material and color palettes that may be more restrictive than town code.
