Yuma's fence regulations address placement on property lines. The exterior subdivision fencing requirement (6-foot masonry) applies to all subdivisions. Disputes between neighbors over fences follow Arizona common law.
Under Yuma's zoning code, fences up to 6 feet may be placed on side and rear property lines in residential districts. The subdivision perimeter masonry requirement applies to shared boundaries with non-subdivision property. Arizona does not have a statutory spite fence law; common law nuisance principles apply. ARS Β§3-1424 governs agricultural partition fences. The finished or attractive side of fences should face neighboring properties. Fence location disputes are civil matters between property owners. A property survey may be needed to resolve boundary disputes.
Fences exceeding height limits or violating setbacks may be cited by code enforcement.
