Can I put a fence in my front yard?

Security fencing has to be submitted for approval first, along with pool fencing and other security measures. The Reviewer (or the ACC) must give you written approval before installation or construction may begin.

Front yard fencing is discouraged. If you still want security fencing in the front yard, it must be ornamental wrought iron or metal fencing, painted black, between 48 and 60 inches high. Slats, planks or other solid material may not be installed on it.

That is a summary in plain words. The passages below are what the documents actually say, and they are the authority.
