Does Your Sherwood HOA Have a Fence Rule?

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.

No chain link in front yards — wood, vinyl or ornamental instead → Vinyl Fence

Sherwood Fence FAQ

How tall can my fence be in Sherwood?
42 inches in the front yard and 6 feet in the side and back yards. Next to a public pedestrian accessway or an alley, the side or back fence is limited to 42 inches.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Sherwood?
No. The City of Sherwood says no permit is required for a fence. The height and location rules still apply.
I'm on a corner lot. Where can the fence go?
On the street side of a corner lot, the fence has to sit at least 5 feet back from the sidewalk, and the clear vision standards at the corner must be met.
Can I use chain link in my front yard?
No. Sherwood doesn't allow chain link fencing in front yards. Wood, vinyl or ornamental aluminum are common choices.
How is height measured on a fence with lattice?
From the finished grade, 6 inches out from the fence, to the very top — lattice and decorative toppers included.
Is my HOA stricter than the city?
Often. Sherwood tells homeowners to check with the HOA before building, because HOA rules may be more restrictive. Send us yours and we'll build to them.
