Tuolumne County fence height limits are established in the zoning code (Title 17). Standard limits typically follow California norms of 6 feet for side and rear yards and 3–4 feet for front yards. The CA spite fence doctrine (Civil Code §841.4) prohibits fences over 10 feet built to annoy neighbors.
Tuolumne County's zoning code (Title 17) sets fence height limits by zoning district. Specific heights vary depending on the zone designation (RE, R, A, AE, C, etc.). The recently updated Title 17 aligns with the 2018 General Plan. California Civil Code §841.4 applies countywide, making fences over 10 feet erected to annoy neighbors a private nuisance.
Code compliance notice with correction period. Remove or modify non-compliant fence. Fines if not corrected.
