Residential fences and walls in Jurupa Valley are capped at six feet. Within a required front yard or street-side setback, everything above 42 inches must be open to view rather than solid.
Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 9.240.500(C), added by Ordinance No. 2023-13 (Zoning Code Amendment No. 22010, adopted August 17, 2023), sets the citywide standard: a six-foot maximum for walls and fences in residential zones, with any portion above 42 inches in a required front yard or street-side setback required to be open to view. The city's Planning FAQ explains this as 42 inches of solid fencing plus up to two feet of open fencing on top within the street setback area. In Traditional Neighborhood Design subdivisions, Section 9.240.550 applies the same six-foot cap and 42-inch open-view rule. Fences over three feet also need a building permit under Ordinance No. 2025-24.
Violations of the Municipal Code are infractions unless designated misdemeanors, with fines of up to $200, $300, then $1,000 for repeat convictions within one year; each day counts as a separate offense.
