SSide Yard
Side or rear yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall. They can't extend toward the street any closer than the front wall of the house, or the required front-yard setback, whichever is farther back.

Back-yard fences may be up to 6 ft tall. On lots of 2 acres or more, up to 8 ft is allowed outside the required front-yard setback.

Setback Requirements
Fences must sit on or inside your property line, not in the public right-of-way (the grass strip between your lot line and the street). On corner lots, the exterior side yard is treated like a second front yard.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Barbed wire, razor wire, and any electrified fence are prohibited in all residential zones. Height is measured from the ground to the top of the highest post or finial.
HOA Considerations
HOA approval is explicitly required in addition to the city permit; submit to your HOA first to speed up the process.
