How high can I build a fence on my property line?
Fences and walls not exceeding four feet in height may be located within front- and street-side property lines. Shorter fences may be required for visibility at intersections. Fences and walls not exceeding six and a half feet in height may be located within side- and rear-property lines. An additional one foot of fence or wall height shall be permitted for posts, columns, or gates. It is recommended, but not required, that you set the fencing away from the property line at least six inches. Requirements subject to change, please call (540)983-0605 to verify before installing your fence.
