Material Restrictions: Moreno Valley vs Palm Springs

Moreno Valley allows most standard fencing materials including wood, vinyl, block, chain-link, and wrought iron. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fences are prohibited in residential zones. Some HOAs restrict materials further and chain-link may be limited in front yards per zoning code.

Palm Springs Municipal Code Chapter 93.03 and Chapter 8.05 (Historic Preservation) restrict fence materials in historic districts and residential zones. Chain-link is disfavored and often prohibited in front yards and historic areas, barbed and razor wire are prohibited in residential zones, and the mid-century modern preservation standard favors horizontal slat, concrete block, or stucco walls compatible with the era's architecture.
