The City of Riverside has a City Council - City Manager form of government. The City Council is comprised of seven elected members representing each of Riverside's seven Wards.
The general rule of thumb is that in a property's back garden, fence panels can be a maximum of 2m high. When considering front garden fences, bear in mind that a fence adjacent to a driveway may not be higher than one metre, or three feet.
CALIFORNIA FENCE HEIGHT LAWS—KNOW YOUR LIMITS When it comes to fence installation in California, the sky is not the limit. At least, not without a permit. Generally speaking, California building codes set a maximum height restriction at 4 feet for front yard fences and 6 feet for backyards.
Homeowners in all residential areas can have a 6 foot high side yard and rear yard wall or fence. Front yard fences can be 3' in height if they are solid. If they are 'open work, they may be up to 4' in height. The Zoning Code requires a front yard setback for all residential zones.
Hire a licensed land surveyor The most accurate way to know where your land begins and ends is to hire a surveyor to determine your property lines. The property surveyor will first check county records to understand the history of the lot.
Fences not over seven (7) feet high (Approval may be required from the Planning Division for fences located in the front yard setback)
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.
