For single-family residential properties, fences are generally limited to three (3) feet in height in the required front yard or street. Behind the required front yards and corner street side yards, fences are generally limited to six (6) feet in height with one (1) foot of open/non-solid lattice material on top.
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.
While the maximum height for fences in Santa Clara is 6 feet, there are several exceptions to this rule. These exceptions include: – Fences can be up to 8 feet if the fence is located in the rear yard of a residential property and is used to screen a recreational facility, pool, or hot tub.
