Assuming that proper building permit is obtained and the city ordinance is followed, typically one can build a front yard fence with a 25 feet setback from the property line. Fences in the back yard and to the side of the house do not have such restriction. But contractors will often setback the fence 3 feet from the property line to allow for maintenance. However, there are restrictions to the height of the fence so that it does not obstruct traffic sign or vision on approach to driveways. Similarly, there are restrictions to the types of fence that can be installed in the residential area, e.g. no electrical or barbed wire fences.
