A record of what the code says
267 findings across 40 states, drawn from 231 government documents. Every one quotes the operative words, names the section, links the document and carries the date it was read.
Why this exists
Fence rules are split across four levels of government and, inside a single city, across departments that do not read each other. The zoning chapter sets a height. The building chapter sets a permit threshold that stops lower. The vision triangle sits in the traffic title. A state statute decides who pays for the fence on the line and says nothing about how tall it can be.
Every existing answer to that either flattens it into one national number that is true nowhere, or hands over a code section with no way to check it. This site does the opposite: it shows the actual sentence, says which level of government wrote it, and says plainly when two of them disagree. The disagreement is usually the useful part.
Who writes it
Findings are drafted by reading the primary document, quoting it, and recording the link and the date. Every quote is then re-checked against the live document on every build, and a quote that cannot be found stops the build. That is a machine check, and it is stronger than the alternative it replaced, which was a person skimming.
Nobody here is a lawyer and this site does not claim legal review. The byline says what is true: sourced from published government documents, and the date it was read.
How it pays for itself
Display advertising, and nothing else. There is no lead form, no referral arrangement, no attorney matching and no contractor directory, now or later. A site that reports what the code says cannot also sell access to the people reading it, because the second thing quietly changes what the first one says.
What this is not
This is general information drawn from published government documents. It is not legal advice, and nothing on it is a substitute for reading the ordinance that governs a specific parcel or for talking to the department that enforces it.
Statutes and ordinances are amended. Each finding carries the date its document was read, which is the honest way to say how fresh it is. What applies to a particular property also depends on its zoning district, its shape, its easements, any overlay district, any fire hazard zone, and any recorded restriction from a homeowners association. None of those appear in a statute, and none of them can be read off a page like this one.
Corrections are welcome, and a correction backed by a link to the document is the fast kind. How a finding gets made
