Taller fences, or fences that use other materials such as vinyl or masonry, need a permit from the city building official. Sheet metal, plywood and concertina wire are not allowed, barbed wire must be at least 6 feet above the ground unless it is used for livestock, and residential fences cannot extend past the front yard building setback line.
