Cicero's rules are narrow for residential lots. Rear yard fences in residential districts may be wood, chain link, PVC or wrought iron and up to six feet tall. Side yard fences are allowed up to six feet in those same materials, non-locking, with at least 15 feet between the house and the neighbor's building. A privacy fence around a patio or first-floor deck may be five feet high, and privacy fences around upper-level decks are not allowed. Front yard fences are not allowed in residential districts, and any existing front yard fence must be non-locking.
Barbed wire, razor wire and electrically charged fences are prohibited, with narrow exceptions for manufacturing districts or a zoning board variance. Posts and rails must face the owner's own property, and fences must resist 35 pounds per square foot of horizontal wind pressure. Minor repairs do not need a permit, but the town says to ask first, because even replacing a post can need a pre-pour inspection of the post holes. The rules are summarized at /permits/cicero/. Berwyn, Oak Park, Chicago, Maywood and Elmwood Park each have their own page.
