Ventura County Zoning Ordinance §8106-8.1.1 allows solid fences up to 7 feet on residential lots but limits solid fences to 3 feet in sight triangles, street-side setbacks, and near driveways. See-through fences up to 5 feet are allowed in front setbacks.
Under §8106-8.1.1, solid fences may be up to 7 feet tall on residential lots except in required sight triangles, street-adjacent setbacks, and 10×10-foot right triangles at driveways, where they are limited to 3 feet. See-through fences may be up to 5 feet in front setbacks and up to 7 feet on lots of 20,000 square feet or more. Fence height is measured from the lowest grade parallel to and 5 feet from the fence per §8106-8.1.4. Vehicle entrance gates must maintain a 20-foot setback from the front or street-side property line and cannot swing within the setback.
Fences exceeding height limits without a Zoning Clearance violate the zoning ordinance. County Code Compliance issues notices of violation with a correction period.
