Oxnard's zoning code limits front yard fences to 3 feet and side/rear yard fences to 6 feet in residential zones. Corner lots have additional visibility requirements at intersections.
Under Chapter 16 (Zoning Code), fences in front yards of residential properties may not exceed 3 feet in height. Side and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Corner lots must maintain a visibility triangle at intersections where fences cannot exceed 3 feet. Retaining walls combined with fences must not exceed the maximum total height. Fences on top of retaining walls may have reduced allowable fence height depending on the wall height.
Non-compliant fences may result in code compliance notices and required modification or removal at the owner's expense.
