In Tualatin, a residential fence up to 7 feet needs no city sign-off. We build privacy fences, replace worn 1970s and 1990s fences, and keep every fence out of the vision clearance area.
Tualatin keeps its fence guidance short. For a house, duplex, triplex or quadplex, the city needs no paperwork as long as the fence is 7 feet or less. Over 7 feet, building review is required. Fences must stay out of the public right-of-way and out of the vision clearance area at streets and driveways.
Tualatin homes come in two waves: the 1970s and the 1990s. Fences from both are now due. The city also lets you know your deed may carry covenants on fence type or size, and it can't interpret them for you. We read them with you before we draw the fence.
