Midwest Fence is a locally owned fence company serving Goddard, KS, a western Wichita suburb in Sedgwick County, with fence installation, repair, and staining. Under Goddard’s city code, back and side yard fences can be up to 6 feet, front-yard fences on homes must be 4 feet or less with at least 75 percent open space, and chain link isn’t allowed in those front yards unless approved as a conditional use.
Goddard Fences That Fit Goddard’s Code
Goddard writes its fence rules into its city code, Section 3-103F. Behind the front of the house, open and closed fences can be up to 6 feet. In the front yard of a home, a fence can be at most 4 feet tall and has to be at least 75 percent open, and chain link isn’t allowed there without the Board of Zoning Appeals’ approval. Those rules shape what we recommend from the first visit.
Beyond new installs, we handle fence repair, including wind damage, and fence and deck staining for wood fences and decks.

What Goddard’s City Code Says About Fences
From the Code of the City of Goddard, Sections 3-103F and 3-103O, and the city’s animal control code.
6 Feet in Back & Side Yards
In any yard except the front yard, open and closed fences can be up to 6 feet tall, with additional height allowed for security design measures.
4 Feet & 75% Open Out Front
On lots with single-family or two-family homes, front-yard fences can be up to 4 feet tall and must be built with at least 75 percent open space.
No Chain Link in Front Yards
Chain link fences aren’t permitted in the front yard of a home unless the Board of Zoning Appeals approves them as a conditional use.
Exceptions Go to the Board
The Board of Zoning Appeals can approve taller fences, or fences with less open space, in any yard as a conditional use.
Corner Lots & Safety
Corner lots must meet the vision triangle requirement in Section 3-103O, and no fence may create a traffic hazard or a danger to people or animals.
Dog Enclosures
Goddard defines a secure enclosure for a dog as a fence at least 4 feet tall that the dog can’t get through or under. Barbed wire and electric fences can’t confine animals unless the property holds an agricultural classification permit or an exterior fence protects them.
