A Fence Builder's Guide to Norwood Village, Bellevue
Norwood Village is a Bellevue residential community near SE 23rd Place and 123rd Place SE (ZIP 98005). The association describes about 90 homes established in the late 1940s by returning WWII veterans, with history rooted on Woodridge hill between the Factoria Interchange and the Wilburton trestle. Bellevue Parks lists Norwood Village Neighborhood Park at 12309 SE 23rd Place.
For a fence builder, the first questions on most lots are where the lot line runs, which edges face the park or street, and which trees or slopes the posts must avoid.
A covenanted neighborhood
Norwood Village's Declaration of Restrictions is recorded with King County for Lower and Upper (Division Number 2) Norwood Village and requires Architectural Control Committee approval before any fence is erected, placed, or altered. See our Norwood Village HOA fence guide. SeattleFence is not affiliated with the association.
Older lots can carry old fences, walls, and hedges along the line. We check what is there before planning a new run.
Park and hillside edges
Norwood Village Neighborhood Park sits at the heart of the street grid. Homes near the park and on Woodridge hillside grades often need stepped panels, pet-secure gates, and a finished face toward the street.
Bellevue fence rules in brief
Bellevue Land Use Code 20.20.400 limits fences in a required front setback to four feet, six inches (with limited exceptions), and any fence that exceeds eight feet in height requires a Building Permit. City rules and ACC approval are separate checks.
