13-521. Fence location and height. Fences may be erected, placed, or maintained in any yard along or adjacent to a lot
line in accordance with the requirements identified in this section. The owner shall be responsible for properly locating
all property lines before construction of any fence.
(a) Height.
(1) Residential zoning districts. The maximum height of a fence or wall within required side and rear setbacks in a
residential zoning district shall not exceed six (6) feet. Fences around pools shall not exceed eight (8) feet. The maximum
height of a solid fence or wall within a required front yard or corner side yard setback shall not exceed three (3) feet.
Such front yard or corner side yard fences may be increased to a maximum height of four (4) feet if open, decorative,
ornamental fencing materials that are less than fifty (50) percent opaque are used or to a maximum height of five (5) feet
if open, decorative, ornamental fencing materials that are less than twenty (20) percent opaque are used. When the fence
extends beyond at least half the distance of the primary building’s side facade, the fence height may increase to six (6)
feet provided the fence is constructed not closer than ½ the applicable corner side yard setback.
(2) Nonresidential zoning districts. The maximum height of a fence or wall shall not exceed eight (8) feet except in
required front or corner side yard setbacks where the maximum height of a solid fence or wall shall not exceed three (3)
feet.
(3) In the case of grade separation, such as the division of properties by a retaining wall, fence height shall be determined
based on measurement from the average point between highest and lowest grade.
(4) Fences or walls shall comply with the vision triangle requirements of Chapter 13-510.
Figure 5-2. Maximum Fence Height.
Materials and constru
ction.
(1) Walls and fences shall be constructed of high quality materials, such as decorative blocks, brick, stone, treated wood,
wrought iron, chain link and plastic
.
(2) No fence shall hav
e sharp or pointed pickets dangerous to life or limb.
(3) Hedges shall be trimmed or confined to the property on which they are planted.
(4) No fence or other structure containing barbed wire or other dangerous material shall be placed on residentially-zoned
property or within four (4) feet of any public street, sidewalk, or alley.
(5) (Amd. GO 35-10) Fences shall be constructed so that the structural supporting elements are located on the side which
is visible to the fence owner (inside) so that the structure/supporting elements of the fence are less visible to adjoining
properties and public rights-of-way.
5
THINGS TO CONSIDER
• The height of a fence shall be measured from the established grade.
• The building code does not establish minimum depth requirements for installing fence
posts. A general rule of thumb is to place the posts into the ground a minimum of half
the height of the fence. Please note that the minimum frost depth for this area is 48
inches.
• The City of Green Bay does require the good side of the fence to face neighboring
properties.
• The City of Green Bay does not provide surveying services for the location of property
irons.
o It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure the fence is within their property lines.
Property line disputes are not the City’s responsibility and would result in a Civil
Case.
o Call Diggers Hotline to find out all utility easements on the property to avoid any
possible damage.
o Contact a Licensed Land Surveyor for professional services in locating your
property line and/or an attorney for legal advice regarding your rights as a
property owner. Also, find out if complaints have been filed against a contractor/
surveyor before you hire them. Contact the Wisconsin Consumer Protection
Agency (800) 422-7128, and/or the Better Business Bureau (800) 273-1002 for
more information. All information is general in nature and should not be
considered as legal advice or as a substitute for a survey.
• Fences are allowed to be placed up to the property lines, but in no case can the fencing
extend over the property line. It is recommended that the fence be constructed off the
lot line if maintenance will need to be done to the fencing without going onto the
neighboring property.
If after reading this guide you still have questions, please feel free to contact the Department
of Community and Economic Development at (920) 448-3300.

CONFIRM
Respect the marks. The marks
provided by the affected utility
operators are your guide for the
duration of your project. If you
are unable to maintain the
marks during your project, or
the project will continue past
your request’s expiration date
(varies by state), please call 811
to ask for a re-mark.
RESPECT

Dig carefully. If you can’t avoid
digging near the marks (within
18-24 inches on all sides,
depending on state law),
consider moving your project
to another part of your yard. If
you must dig near the marks
or use machinery of any kind,
please click here to read “The
