Rockwood Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Rockwood.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
In residential zones, no fence taller than 30 in. is allowed within 10 ft of the front lot line or a public sidewalk. Any fence running from the front of the house toward the street must stay 36 in. or shorter.
SSide Yard
Between residential properties the standard maximum is 4 ft. Up to 6 ft can be approved by the Planning Commission. A solid privacy fence in a residential zone requires Zoning Board of Appeals approval. The fence must sit 1 in. inside your lot line, and at least 12 in. from any sidewalk edge.
BBackyard
Same 4 ft standard between residences, with Planning Commission approval possible up to 6 ft. Where your lot backs up to a commercial alley, expressway, drainage ditch, or railroad, a solid fence is permitted.
Permit Requirements
Yes. A fence permit is required before you start. Your application must include a certificate of survey showing your lot lines and where the fence will be placed. Apply at City Hall, 32409 Fort Rd.
Setback Requirements
Fences must be placed 1 in. inside your lot line (not on it) and at least 12 in. off any sidewalk. Nothing may be placed in a public right-of-way, alley, or easement.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
No barbed wire in residential zones. Chain-link fences may not have privacy slats or solid inserts. Fences must be kept weed-free at the base with paint or finish maintained.
HOA Considerations
Older Rockwood neighborhoods often have deed restrictions that predate the current ordinance, so check your title documents.
