Los Banos, CA Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

807): the minimum setbacks from property lines apply to "structures and fences and walls exceeding three (3′) feet in height," meaning a fence at or under three feet needs no setback at all, while a taller fence or wall in the front yard must sit back the same twenty feet required of buildings, reduced to ten feet on a cul-de-sac bulb lot. Side and rear yards treat fences differently from buildings: an interior side yard requires five feet for building structures but zero feet for a fence, a street side yard requires ten feet for structures but zero for a fence except on reverse corner lots where the fence itself must be set back fifteen feet, and rear yards require zero setback for fences regardless of the ten- or twenty-foot setback required for accessory structures or two-story constructions.

The rule effectively limits a fence over three feet in the required front setback area unless it is moved back to the building setback line, while allowing taller fences right up to the interior side and rear property lines. 1703, showing the three-foot residential threshold is the general baseline, not an absolute ceiling.
