Fence height limits along public rights-of-way

Tuscaloosa

Summary

The commission unanimously rejected a 7.5-foot horizontal composite fence running 60 feet along Queen City Avenue, holding the line at the six-foot guideline after recently denying similar tall fences on Ninth Avenue and Jack Warner Parkway. A six-foot fence wouldn't have needed approval at all.
