Where can I build a fence up to eight feet tall?
An eight-foot tall fence may be built in those areas where a building is allowed. In other words, if a fence is on or outside the required setback line, the fence may be up to 8 feet tall (see answer to Question 1 for typical setbacks). In some cases, where there is a small change in topography of up to two or three feet, it may be possible to build a combination retaining wall and fence at the property line subject to approval of a Zoning Administrator’s Permit.
