Seven in ten Wilsonville homes were built since 1990, many in planned neighborhoods with their own fence standards. We check your subdivision's rules and the city code before we draw a single panel.
Wilsonville's code (Section 4.113(.08)) limits a sight-obscuring fence in the required front yard to 4 feet. Side-yard fences stay at 4 feet forward of the building line, and rear-yard fences can be 6 feet. The city's planning staff also point out that many Wilsonville subdivisions have their own standards that don't match the general code.
That's why we start with your address. Villebois, Frog Pond West and Charbonneau each have their own look, and Frog Pond West limits solid fences near the brick wall on Boeckman and Stafford Roads. The city says a wood fence under 6 feet needs no sign-off; over 6 feet, its Building Division wants to review it.
