Residential:
- Backyard fence up to 6’ tall? No permit needed.

- Corner lot or near a driveway? Visibility rules apply—you may need to “step down” the fence near the street.
Need to share the cost with a neighbor?
California’s Good Neighbor Fence Law (Civil Code § 841) says both parties must share the cost of a fence on a shared boundary—unless one side objects in writing with valid reasons.
