Glendale limits residential fence heights to 3.5 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. Open-style fences (wrought iron, picket) may be allowed taller in front yards. Corner lots have sight triangle requirements.
Under Glendale's zoning code (Title 30), solid fences in front yards are limited to 3.5 feet. Open-style fences like wrought iron or picket may be up to 4 feet in front yards. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots must maintain visibility triangles for driver safety. Retaining walls combined with fences must meet overall height limits. Properties in hillside zones may have modified requirements.
Fences exceeding height limits receive code enforcement notices. Non-compliant fences must be modified or removed within the compliance period.
