Moreno Valley regulates fence heights under MVMC Chapter 9.08 (General Development Standards). Front yard fences are typically limited to 3 feet, side and rear to 6 feet. Corner lot visibility requirements apply.
Moreno Valley's development standards regulate fence heights in residential zones. Front yard fences are typically limited to 3 feet to maintain open neighborhood character. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots have reduced height requirements near intersections to maintain sight-line visibility for traffic safety. Fences on property lines adjoining different zone types may have specific requirements. Retaining walls combined with fencing must not exceed total height limits. The Planning Division reviews fence variance requests.
Fence exceeding height limit: code enforcement notice. Sight-line obstruction: immediate correction.
