Sacramento County Zoning Code §5.2.5 limits solid front-yard fences in residential zones to 3 feet, semi-open picket fencing to 4 feet, open chain link to 4 feet, and open wrought iron to 7 feet. Side-street, interior side, and rear fences may be up to 7 feet.
Section 5.2.5 establishes height by fence type and yard. In non-Agricultural / non-Ag-Residential residential zones (including the RD-5/RD-7 districts typical of Florin), solid walls or fences in the front yard may not exceed 3 feet, semi-open picket fences not more than 4 feet, open chain link not more than 4 feet, and open wrought iron not more than 7 feet. Side street yards, interior side yards, and rear yards may all reach 7 feet. Building permits are typically required for any fence over 7 feet.
Over-height fences are zoning violations subject to administrative abatement orders requiring removal or modification. Sight-distance triangles at intersections are independently enforced.
