Bostonia is unincorporated San Diego County, so the County Zoning Ordinance sets fence heights: 42 inches max in a front or exterior side yard and 72 inches (6 feet) in a rear or interior side yard.
Because Bostonia has no city government, the San Diego County Zoning Ordinance governs. Section 6708 permits fences and walls up to the maximum height applicable to the main building within the main building area, but only 42 inches in a front or exterior side yard and 72 inches in a rear or interior side yard. Open fences up to 8 feet may be allowed where the top two feet are barbed or razor wire for security. Taller fences require an Administrative Permit exception under Section 6708(h). Confirm your parcel's zone with County Planning & Development Services before building.
Zoning-Ordinance violations are enforced by County Code Compliance; unpermitted or over-height fences can trigger a notice to comply, removal orders, and building-permit penalties.
