Can I put a fence on a corner lot in Southfield?

Yes, but corner lots have extra limits. Where the side yard abuts a street and has a common rear-yard relationship with a lot in the same block, a fence up to 72 inches may run along the common street line from the side of the house to the rear property line. Clear vision zones for corners and driveways must be maintained.
