Fence Information
Dear Members,
Our governing Declaration, under Article VII, Section 7.5, states the following: The Owners or occupants of all Lots shall always maintain the fences on the Lot. Fences on the Lot must be kept in good order by Owner and shall be replaced upon deterioration in accordance with the construction requirements of this Declaration.
Under Article V, Section 5.9.1 states the following regarding Special Fence Requirements:
The Owners of certain particular Lots shall abide by specific additional fence requirements as follows:
(a) Brick Fence Zone. In locations designated on the Special Fence Requirements Map, the fence shall be constructed of brick and in a uniform manner as specified by the Architectural Control Committee. The fence and its appearance are to be maintained by the Owner.
(b) Brick Columns with Wood Fence Zone. In locations designated on Special Fence Requirements Map, the fence shall be a wood fence, constructed with 6-inch pickets, and at the height of 6-feet, with brick columns spaced a nominal 25 feet. The outward face of the fence shall be painted or stained the color specified by the Architectural Control Committee. The fence and its appearance are to be maintained by the Owner. Furthermore, see our Central Fence Policy linked below for the standards set out for this Zone.
(c) Wood Fence Zone. For areas not specifically designated on the Special Fence Requirements Map, the fence shall be a wood fence, constructed with pickets of 4-inch material or greater, and at the height not to exceed 8 feet. The fence and its appearance are to be maintained by the Owner. Wood fences shall be (a) left to weather naturally; or (b) treated with a natural color preservative stain or a color approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee. Other wood fence treatments are not permitted without authorization by Architectural Control Committee.
Depending on the fence in question, our Declaration has different requirements. Please see the Special Fence Requirements Map linked below to determine which Requirements apply to you.
Bedford has a relatively new fence ordinance. It is much stricter than in the past. Please review the City of Bedford Fence Regulations linked below when you evaluate your fencing for replacement or repair.
