Livermore allows 6-foot fences in rear/side yards and 3.5-foot fences in front yards per LMC zoning. Corner lots have visibility triangle restrictions.
Livermore Development Code limits fence heights to 6 feet in rear and interior side yards and 3.5 feet (42 inches) in front yard setbacks. Fences between 6 and 8 feet require a building permit and design review. Walls exceeding 8 feet require planning commission approval. Corner lot visibility triangles (typically 25 feet from curb intersections) must maintain maximum 3-foot fence/hedge height to preserve driver sight lines.
