Typical rules to check
- Maximum heights, often lower in front yards than rear yards.
- Which side faces out (often the finished side toward neighbors).
- Setbacks from property lines, sidewalks and corners for visibility.
- Materials allowed.
Know your property line
Use a survey. A fence built over the line can cause disputes and title issues later.
Pool barriers
Pools need compliant barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates under construction code rules. Check your town’s pool requirements.
