CMC Title 19 establishes general fence requirements including setbacks from property lines, sight triangle visibility standards at corners and driveways, and maintenance obligations. All fences must comply with zoning district standards and may not encroach on public right-of-way or utility easements.
CMC Title 19 zoning standards govern fence placement and maintenance in residential zones. Fences must be set back from the public right-of-way and may not encroach on public sidewalks, streets, or utility easements. At corner lots, sight triangle requirements limit fence heights (typically 3 feet) within a triangular area at intersections to maintain driver visibility. Similar sight lines must be maintained at driveway approaches. Fences must be maintained in good repair and not allowed to become hazards or eyesores. Leaning, broken, or rotting fences may be cited as property maintenance violations. Fences on or near property lines should reference recorded surveys. Sound walls and perimeter walls in many Camarillo planned developments are maintained by the HOA and subject to the community's architectural standards. Individual lot fences in HOA communities require architectural committee approval for style, material, and color consistency.
Non-compliant fences are zoning violations under CMC Title 19 enforced by code enforcement. Hazardous fences may be declared nuisances. Contact Community Development at (805) 388-5360.
