Most Sherwood homes were built in 1990 or later, in neighborhoods with their own fence rules. We build to the city code and your HOA guidelines, so the fence goes up once.
Sherwood's fence rules are clear. Front-yard fences can be 42 inches, and chain link isn't allowed in front. Side and back-yard fences can be 6 feet, except next to a public walkway or alley, where the limit is 42 inches. The city doesn't require any sign-off for a fence.
The bigger question in Sherwood is often the HOA. With 5,542 homes built since 1990, many streets have covenants on fence style, height and color, and the city itself tells homeowners to check with the HOA first. We read your guidelines with you before we draw the fence.
