Milwaukie fence rules at a glance

Milwaukie’s residential accessory-structure handout covers fences:

• The city’s handout says fences don’t need a permit in Milwaukie.
• Fences in the front yard are limited to 42 inches high; side, street-side and rear yard fences can go up to 6 feet.
• Clear-vision areas apply near street corners and driveways, so fences there may need to be lower.
• Decks: the handout doesn’t cover decks. A deck more than 30 inches above grade typically needs a building permit under Oregon’s residential code. We check with the city on every deck project.

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 Milwaukie: Residential Accessory Structures (PDF).
