What height of fence can I build?

Fencing can be placed up to the property line.  In a front yard, fences can be no taller than three (3) feet in height.  A fence exceeding this height must conform with front yard setbacks of that zone or must be setback to the front building line.  Fences in interior side yards and rear yards may be no taller than seven (7) feet in height.  In an exterior side yard (the street side of a corner lot), a fence can be no taller than three (3) feet, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Department.  This information can be found under Chapter 8.10.210 of the McMinnville Municipal Code.  Additionally, private covenants may exist for your particular subdivision that would otherwise limit a fence's height or location.   You are encouraged to research these documents prior to starting construction of any fence.
