A fence may not be constructed in the front yard, except for a decorative entry fence. For specific details, contact the Planner of the Day at 913-895-6217.

A fence may be constructed to the property line of the rear and side yards, except when the rear or side yard abuts a collector or local street, then a fence or wall must be setback 15 feet from the rear or side property line. In residential areas, the property line is generally 1 foot behind the sidewalk or 11 feet from the edge of the curb.

A fence is not permitted in a platted landscape easement unless approved by the Planning Commission as part of a landscape/screening plan for a subdivision. Landscape easements are generally found adjacent to major streets in the newer subdivisions south of 103rd Street. Contact the Planner of the Day for more information.

Fences adjacent to a thoroughfare are generally required to provide one gate opening per lot to allow access to the area between the fence and the street for maintenance and mowing.

Note: The curb line of the street is not your property line. Call the Planner of the Day for further assistance on determining the proper placement.
