What are the setbacks for an accessory structure and a fence?
If the accessory structure is detached from the house and is in the rear or side of the house (not street side) then the setback is 6 feet from all property lines. A fence may be located along the property line, but is limited to 5 feet in height in the front setback area. The city does not regulate how close you can put a fence to the property line, however, we advise you to consider placing it close enough on your property such that you can maintain both sides for plant (weeds, vines, etc.) growth.
