FAQ
Yes, you can build a fence on your side of the boundary. It's a good idea to check with your local rules first and maybe talk to your neighbor about it to avoid any problems.
Under California's Building Code, you must obtain a permit before building a fence that will be over 6 feet tall unless the top 2 feet of the fence will be barbed wire. For a front yard fence, the maximum height is 42 inches. For a backyard fence, the maximum height is 72 inches.
Retaining walls that are not part of a building shall have a maximum height of 6 feet. Retaining walls with a height greater than 4 feet shall not have a horizontal measurement of greater than 20 feet per retaining wall, and 40 cumulative feet for all such walls.
Maintaining Distance from the Property Line This helps prevent disputes and allows for maintenance on both sides of the fence without encroaching on the neighbor's land. A common practice is to build the fence 2-8 inches away from the property line, depending on local regulations and personal preferences.
Side and Rear Yard: Fences may be up to six feet (6') tall and may be extended up to eight feet (8') with see- through fencing material, except in visibility zones. In visibility zones, no fence may exceed three feet (3') in height.
If you own the fence, your neighbour cannot attach anything to it without your permission. Whether that be hooks, screws or fairy lights, anything that goes on your fence should be given the all clear from you first.
Typically, fences up to 2 meters (approximately 6.6ft) high are allowed without the need for planning permission. However, front garden fences have stricter regulations. Planning permission is usually required for fences over 1 meter high in the front garden.
Side and Rear Yard: Fences may be up to six feet (6') tall and may be extended up to eight feet (8') with see- through fencing material, except in visibility zones. In visibility zones, no fence may exceed three feet (3') in height.
Generally speaking, California building codes set a maximum height restriction at 4 feet for front yard fences and 6 feet for backyards. However, as Palmieri, Hennessey, and Leifer LLP note, “If your properties are on sloping land, the height limitation may vary at different points along the fence line.”
