Front-yard residential fences may not exceed four feet, and fence or wall placement must account for corner sight-distance triangles and zoning setbacks.

Accessory buildings 120 square feet and larger require building permits, while one-story detached accessory buildings under 120 square feet require a no-fee fence/accessory building permit.
