Is Your Lake Oswego Lot Too Steep for an Ordinary Fence?

Lake Oswego lots are steep, wooded and close to the street. We build fences that step down hillsides, sit cleanly on retaining walls and follow the city's 4-foot rule near the street.

Lake Oswego's code caps residential fences at 6 feet, and at 4 feet within 10 feet of a property line that faces a street or a shared access easement. In Old Town, fences in the front yard setback are held to 4 feet. Along a few busier roads, like Country Club Rd and Stafford Rd, a taller fence is allowed if it meets the city's design criteria.

Most Lake Oswego homes were built between 1960 and 1989, often on sloped, wooded lots. Fences there sit on hillsides, next to retaining walls and under big trees. Where a fence sits on or just above a retaining wall, the city limits the combined height, so we plan the wall and the fence together.

Street-facing edges are limited to 4 feet within 10 feet → Picket Fence
Hillside lots need fences stepped down the slope and set on retaining walls → Fence Installation
Big trees and shade keep wood wet — moss and rot at the posts → Fence Repair

Lake Oswego Fence FAQ

How tall can my fence be in Lake Oswego?
Up to 6 feet in residential zones, but only 4 feet within 10 feet of a property line along a public street or a shared access easement. Alleys don't count as streets for this rule.
I live in Old Town. Is it different?
Yes. Fences in the front yard setback of the Old Town Neighborhood are limited to 4 feet.
Can I put a fence on top of my retaining wall?
Yes, with a limit. When the fence sits on top of the wall, or within 5 feet of it on the uphill side, the wall and fence together must be under 8 feet, measured from the low side.
When do I need a building permit?
For any fence over 7 feet. A fence over 6 feet also has to be screened by an evergreen hedge under the city code.
I'm on Country Club Rd. Can I go taller near the street?
Along a short list of roads, including Bryant Rd, Country Club Rd, McVey Ave, South Shore Blvd and Stafford Rd, a fence of 4 to 6 feet is allowed within 10 feet of the street if it meets the city's criteria, such as an open top section. We'll check your lot.
