Which Fence Rules Apply on Your Wilsonville Street?
In a city where many subdivisions set their own fence standards, the first step of a new fence is finding out which rules apply to your street.
Most towns have one fence rulebook. Here, the city's own planning staff note that many subdivisions have standards unique to them, which don't necessarily match the general zoning code. So every fence installation we plan in town starts with the address: we check whether your subdivision has its own standard, then lay the fence out to whichever is stricter.
The general code, Section 4.113(.08), sets a 4-foot limit for a sight-obscuring fence in the required front yard. Side-yard fences stay at 4 feet forward of the building line, and the rear yard allows 6 feet. In Frog Pond West, a solid fence taller than 4 feet can't stand within 8 feet of the brick wall along Boeckman and Stafford Roads, which matters for any lot backing onto those roads.
On the paperwork side, the city says a wood fence under 6 feet on your own property needs no sign-off, and the Building Division asks for review on anything over 6 feet. Most backyard fences stay under that line.
