Happy Valley fence & deck rules at a glance

From the City of Happy Valley’s fence page and accessory-structure guide:

• Fences 7 feet and taller need a building permit.
• Fences are generally limited to 4 feet in front of the home and 8 feet at the side and rear. 8 feet is allowed anywhere at least 30 feet back from the front property line.
• Within 25 feet of intersections and driveways, fences are limited to 2.5 feet, or 4 feet if see-through. No fences are allowed in the planter strip.
• Decks more than 30 inches above grade count toward lot coverage, and decks 10 feet or taller need engineering.
• The city reminds homeowners to check their HOA rules (CC&Rs) too.

Rules change, and lot-specific conditions apply. We confirm the current requirements for your property before we build, and handle the permit when one is needed. Sources: City of Happy Valley: Fences and Retaining Walls · Happy Valley: Residential Accessory Structures Guide (PDF).
