Oak Grove fence & deck rules at a glance

Oak Grove is unincorporated, so Clackamas County rules apply:

  • Under Oregon’s building code, a deck more than 30 inches above grade needs a permit.
  • An uncovered deck 30 inches or lower can generally sit 10 feet from the front and rear lot lines and 3 feet from the side lines, unless the zone allows less.
  • Near road intersections, the county limits sight-blocking structures over 30 inches tall within a 20-foot radius of the lot corner.
  • Fence height limits depend on your zone, and we confirm them with Clackamas County before building.

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: Clackamas County: Deck setback guidance · Clackamas County ZDO 903 · Clackamas County: Community Planning Organizations.

Oak Grove deck & fence FAQ

Who issues permits in Oak Grove?

Oak Grove isn’t a city, so permits and zoning rules come from Clackamas County. We check your lot’s zone and handle any permit the project needs.

Can you build a fence on a sloped Oak Grove lot?

Yes. We build stepped and racked fences that follow the grade, like the stepped horizontal-slat fence in our gallery.
