- Fences cannot exceed eight (8) feet in height in rear and side yards, and three (3) feet in height in front yards (Illustration defining “Front yard” shown below)
- Fences must be built with the “non-structural” side facing outward
- Fences do not have a required setback from property lines, but it is required that both sides of the fence must be able to be maintained
- Fences built near intersections cannot be built within the Vision Clearance Triangle
- Corner Lots and Through Lots have a “Front Yard” on each side of the property that abuts a public road, and therefore have to maintain a three (3) feet maximum height in these Front Yards
For all other zoning districts, and to see the exact language in the Unified Development Ordinance, follow this link.

How do I get a meter back on a building after it has been removed by Duke Energy?
1. Contact a licensed electrical contractor to pull a reconnect permit.
2. After the contractor has pulled a permit, they will perform the work to ensure the meter base is properly installed and connected according to current codes.
3. The contractor will then call a City Inspector to inspect the work and report to Duke that a meter can be placed on the building again.
How Do I Get Power Turned Back On If I Still Have A Meter on My Building?
Contact your electric company directly, they will be able to start a new account and schedule to get your electric service turned back on.
