A fence in the required front yard setback cannot exceed four feet, and a corner lot has two front yards. In a side or rear yard it can reach six feet, or four feet where it would extend past the front of a neighboring house. On a corner lot, nothing over two feet may stand in the vision triangle.

Decks are on the city's list of work that needs a zoning permit, and the fee line for additions or alterations to existing residential structures, decks included, is $25. Add that fee to your deck building budget.

A shed, pergola, gazebo, carport, or detached deck over 100 square feet needs a zoning certificate, and a detached garage has its own rules. Setbacks from the house and the lot lines depend on height, so ask the Planning Department before you choose a size.

North Maple Street, from West Wooster to Conneaut Avenue, became the city's first local historic district, reported in December 2024, covering 22 homes. The commission uses the Secretary of the Interior's guidelines. If your home is on that stretch, exterior changes need the commission's review first.
