What it means for fence work

  • Overland Park allows fences up to 8 feet above average grade in side and rear yards, no fences in front yards beyond a decorative entry fence of 3 feet or less, and requires a permit for a new fence, an extension, or replacing half or more of an existing one (Municipal Code 18.390.140).
  • Each of the other cities in the table has its own fence rules. A quote should be built to the code of the city the house is in.
  • The detached-house share is a rough guide to how many homes have a yard of their own to fence.

About these figures

Figures are the Census Bureau's American Community Survey five-year estimates for 2020 to 2024 (tables B25003 and B25024). As survey estimates they have margins of error.

Owner occupied is a share of occupied homes; detached houses are single-family homes not attached to another unit, as a share of all housing units.
