My house is located in a subdivision and I want to fence in my back yard and/or build a residential storage building. How far off the property line should they be?
The Lexington County Zoning Office does not address or regulate residential fencing. Accessory buildings to residential activities must maintain a minimum 3-foot setback from adjoining property lines. However, some private subdivision restrictions/covenants may regulate and/or prohibit fencing and accessory buildings. If your subdivision has such private restrictions in effect, they would be recorded with the County Register of Deeds and are not enforced by the Zoning Office.
