- In residential zones, front yard fences are limited to 4 ft.
- Corner lots
- Inside a corner lot's visibility triangle, fences more than 2 ft above the curb are not allowed, except open styles with plantings kept low.
- Utilities
- Iowa One Call (811) before anything goes into the ground, even our driven steel posts. We file it. Sprinkler and pet-fence lines are yours to mark.
