Sanger zoning regulations limit residential fences to 3 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards, consistent with standard California zoning practice. Corner lots have additional sight-triangle restrictions to maintain visibility for traffic safety.
The Sanger Municipal Code zoning regulations set maximum fence heights for residential zones. Front yard fences are limited to 3 feet (36 inches) in height to maintain neighborhood visibility and aesthetics. Side yard and rear yard fences may be up to 6 feet tall. On corner lots, fences within the sight-visibility triangle at the intersection must not exceed 3 feet to allow drivers to see pedestrians and cross traffic. The sight triangle is typically measured 25 feet back from the curb along each street frontage. Fences on top of retaining walls have their heights measured from the higher grade, meaning the total combined height of the retaining wall and fence is considered. Decorative columns and posts may extend up to 12 inches above the fence height limit. Height variances require application to the Sanger Planning Commission.
Fences exceeding height limits trigger code enforcement notices. Property owners are given time to bring the fence into compliance. Repeated noncompliance may result in administrative fines.
