We recommend that you set your fence in approximately 6 inches from your property line, so that all of the cement is on your property. The exception here would be if both neighbors are paying for the fence together, then if agreed upon by both parties the fence line may be put on the property line.

There is no required setback from a fence to a property line. Check with your neighbor to make sure you agree where the line is or get a lot line survey before starting construction.

With the proper building permit, you may install a fence adjacent to or on the rear and side property lines. The fence may not exceed six feet on the rear and side property lines or while it maintains the front yard envelope, or flush with the front of the house. The fence may not exceed four feet on the front and street side (corner side) property lines in residential districts if it is located on the front or street side (corner side) property lines.

No, the fence can be built up to but not on the property line. A privacy or barred fence must be held 2’ off the property line for maintenance. There must be a 4’ gate within 10’ of the house.

No, unless there are specific community rules or zoning ordinances, a fence is typically installed just inside the property line. [close]

Johnston County does not have a set back requirement for fences. We recommend, however, that you make sure that the fence is completely within your side of the property line.

If a fence is placed within twenty-five (25) feet of the street right-of-way it shall not be more than forty-two (42) inches in height. Barbed wire, electrical and single, double and triple strand fences are prohibited in residential district unless used in a protective fence. A fence cannot be placed where it will obstruct the vision of any traffic sign or driveway approach to street or intersections and not in any easements.

A building permit is not required for fences up to 72 inches and freestanding masonry walls up to 48 inches in height above the height of the adjacent grade. All fences over 72 inches and walls over 48 inches require permits. In all cases, you must check with the Planning Division on Zoning regulations applicable to all fences. For more information see Wood & Masonry Fences, Form 4604.

The Village Code allows fences of only a certain size and only up to a certain point on your property line. Please see the Village Code.

TxDOT will install and maintain all the fences required as a component of TTC-35, such as when the corridor divides property that was once whole. Fences taken out by the corridor that are a pre-existing feature of a landowner's property will be reimbursed to the property owner as a component of the property appraisal. BACK TO TOP

Do you have any idea how often we have to listen to those jokes? *Everybody* has said that before you, it 'aint funny anymore.

A fence may be located at the property line, however the City recommends keeping the fence at least three feet off the property line to allow for maintenance of both sides of the fence. Fences in the front yard do have setback requirements – please contact the City for the setback on your particular street. A permit is not required for a fence, however it is the responsibility of the homeowner to know where the property in line is and where any utility easements may be located.

Well Construction Standards [WAC 173-160] do not specifically state property line restrictions, but states that wells must be located a minimum of one-hundred (100) feet from sources of know or potential contamination sources. Prior to constructing a well near a property line, consider the protection of the 100-foot radius sanitary zone. If the property line is adjacent to a state, county or private road, there are also road and utility easements that must be maintained.

It depends upon the depth of the well, if you have leased your property, and if the well is going to be a vertical or directional well. A vertical well cannot be drilled closer than 100 feet from any property not in the drilling unit but may need to be up to 500 feet depending upon the depth of the well. A directional well can conceivably be drilled right next to a property line.

To legally establish your property line requires the services of licensed surveyor. The City of Seattle has resources in the Engineering Vault (684-5132) that can help you determine approximately where your property lines are.

Generally speaking you can build your garage / carport 150mm from the fence line, providing the average height of the building (including gable peak) is no more than 3m high. Alternatively, the average height can be up to 3.6m if you build 1000mm (1m) from the fence. Unfortunately there is no in between, it is either 150mm or 1000mm. Some other restrictions may apply depending on your property and local council requirements.

You are permitted to build a fence no higher than 4 feet around the side and back of your home only. Fences are prohibited in front yards. NOTE: the board is currently considering an adjustment of this restriction to allow fences up to 6 feet in height. If you are planning to install a fence, please check with the board for the latest restriction information. The seller is obligated by law to inform any potential buyer of the existence of the LDHOA.
