Building a Fence Under Vancouver's New Code?

Vancouver's new land use code took effect July 31, 2026. We build to it: front fences up to 5 feet with an open top foot, solid side and back fences up to 6 feet, and building review for anything taller.

Vancouver replaced its land use code on July 31, 2026. For homes in the LS, MS and MH zones, a fence in front of the house can be 5 feet if the top foot is at least 80% open, like wrought iron or chain link. Solid fences in side and back setbacks can be 6 feet. Any fence over 6 feet needs city building review.

Vancouver is big and varied, with 85,421 homes from old grid streets near downtown to 1990s subdivisions out east toward Fisher's Landing. East-side lots also feel the winter east wind out of the Columbia River Gorge, which NOAA notes can bring strong winds to the Portland–Vancouver area.

Vancouver Fence FAQ

How tall can my fence be in Vancouver, WA?
In the LS, MS and MH zones, up to 5 feet in front of the house as long as the top foot is at least 80% open, and up to 6 feet for solid fences in side and back setbacks. Other zones have their own limits.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Vancouver?
A building permit is required for any fence over 6 feet. An ordinary fence needs no land use review, but it must meet the code.
Can the fence sit right on the property line?
Only if both neighbors agree. Otherwise it has to be wholly on your property, and it can't block access to an easement or go in the public right-of-way.
What about corners and driveways?
Fences can't interfere with vision clearance at intersections or driveways. Under 30 inches is generally fine, and fences that are 80% open, like wrought iron or chain link, are allowed if kept clear of plants.
Is barbed wire allowed?
No. Barbed wire, razor wire and electric fences aren't allowed with residential uses in any Vancouver zone.
Did the rules change in 2026?
Yes. Vancouver's updated zoning code took effect July 31, 2026, and fences now fall under VMC 20.450.020. We build to the current version.
