Fences (Z-38)

Fences (Z-38) Forms Not Applicable
The Columbus Zoning Code regulates the height and location of a fence. Deed restrictions or covenants may also prohibit certain kinds of fences or specify allowed locations of fencing in the subdivision. The city does not regulate nor enforce deed restrictions; other homeowners or civic associations in a subdivision may regulate them as well as other subdivision rules.
