San Leandro fences limited to 3.5 feet in front yard setback, 6 feet in side/rear yards, and 7 feet for permitted masonry boundary walls.

Front yard fences (within the required front setback, typically 15-20 feet) cannot exceed 3.5 feet for solid materials or 4 feet if at least 50 percent open (wrought iron, pickets). Side and rear yard fences can reach 6 feet without a permit. Masonry walls may reach 7 feet with a building permit. Corner lots have additional sight-triangle rules for visibility.
