Prior Lake's fence rules in Chapter 10 require materials customarily used for fencing - wood, vinyl, ornamental iron, chain link. Barbed wire, electrified, and razor wire are generally prohibited in residential areas.
Under Chapter 10 Sections 10-729 and 10-61, residential fences must be constructed of materials customarily used for fencing - wood, vinyl, ornamental iron, chain link, masonry, and similar. Materials like barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing are generally prohibited in residential districts; they may be allowed for legitimate agricultural use in the A district or for security in industrial zones with screening. Snow fence and temporary construction fencing are allowed for limited durations. Fences must be maintained in good repair; deteriorated fences are a nuisance under Sec. 5-200. Sight-triangle rules at corners apply regardless of material (Sec. 10-730).
Installing prohibited materials in a residential district is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 plus required removal. Deteriorated fences trigger property maintenance enforcement.
