Fillmore Municipal Code regulates fence heights based on location on the property. Front yard fences are limited to 3-4 feet in height. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Fences on corner lots must maintain sight-line clearance at intersections. Agricultural-zoned properties may have different height allowances for livestock containment.
