What Applies at the County Level
Clark County Planning and Zoning Office (unincorporated area
The county's own zoning ordinance defines a "Privacy Fence" as one of uniform construction, no more than 8 feet in height, designed to obscure the area it covers; a Location Improvement Permit is separately required specifically for above-ground swimming pools, with a pool barrier requiring at least 60 inches (5 feet) in height, a self-closing/self-latching gate, and construction that prevents a "ladder effect" and the passage of a 4-inch-diameter sphere. City of Jeffersonville, within the county, sets a stricter local rule for its own limits: 6 feet in the side or rear yard, 4 feet beyond the front line of the residence, and a 3-foot minimum height above finish grade for any fence.
