Yuba City FAQ
Can I put barbed wire on top of my chain-link fence?
Not on a residential lot. Article 59 prohibits barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing in residential zones. Agricultural parcels with livestock and approved non-residential security uses are the only exceptions.
Are electric pet containment fences (underground) legal?
The prohibition targets above-ground electrified fencing intended as a barrier. Underground invisible-fence pet containment systems are not regulated as fences under Article 59. Confirm with Planning at (530) 822-4626 before installation.
