Queen Creek, AZ Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

13 of the Zoning Ordinance flatly states that barbed wire, wire mesh and chain link fencing may not be used in any zoning district in the Town of Queen Creek, whether the parcel sits in Maricopa County or Pinal County. The rule sits inside the General Standards that apply to every fence and wall in Town, alongside height limits: front-yard fencing tops out at 36 inches solid, rising to 48 inches if the added height is an open material like wrought iron or vinyl rail, and side or rear property-line fencing caps at 6 feet on the high side and 8 feet on the low side of a grade change, with a required 2-foot view portion above the 6-foot mark.

Fences taller than 6 feet need a stamped design from an Arizona-registered structural engineer. 3 allow metal wire fencing with a rectangular or square pattern, excluding chain link, as perimeter fencing in the Rural Zoning Districts (A-1, AT, R1-190 through R1-43) and, for R1-35 lots, in the Suburban district, provided it meets the height and location standards and does not extend above the top rail of an adjoining split-rail fence. Solid fence designs elsewhere must use at least three different materials from stone, brick, block or textured block.

14. Any alternative wall design can be considered by the Planning Administrator, who has discretion to approve enhancements that meet the intent of the section.
