Is Your Oregon City Lot in a Historic District?

Oregon City has some of the oldest houses in the state and miles of newer streets up the hill. We build fences that fit both, and we know which lots need a historic or overlay review first.

In many cases an Oregon City residential fence needs no building or planning review. The rule is simple: between the front of the house and the street (or 40 feet back from the front property line, whichever is closer), a fence can be 42 inches. At and behind the front of the house, it can be 6 feet.

Some lots do need a review first. Fences in a historic district or on a historically designated property, and fences in the Natural Resource Overlay District, need a permit of some type. With 1,552 homes built before 1940, Oregon City has more of those lots than most towns, so we check yours before we quote.

Oregon City Fence FAQ

How tall can my fence be in Oregon City?
42 inches between the front of the house and the street (or 40 feet back from the front property line, whichever is closer), and 6 feet at and behind the front of the house.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Oregon City?
In many cases, no. Fences in historic districts, on historically designated properties, in the Natural Resource Overlay District, or in multi-family and commercial zones need a review. We check your lot first.
My house is in a historic district. What's different?
The city's Historic Review Board has a fence and wall policy, and a review is needed before you build. We help you pick a style that suits the house and fits the policy.
Can the fence go in the utility easement?
Not without approval. Oregon City doesn't allow fences in public utility easements or the public right-of-way without review by Public Works.
Are there rules for corner lots?
Yes. Owners must meet the city's traffic sight obstruction rules in OCMC 10.32, so drivers can see at corners. We lay out the fence to keep the corner clear.
