Victorville caps residential fence heights under the Development Code at 6 feet in side and rear yards and 3 to 4 feet in front yards. Corner sight triangles limit fences to 30 inches for driver visibility.
The Victorville Development Code sets residential fence and wall heights across single-family and multi-family zones. Side and rear yard fences are limited to 6 feet measured from adjacent grade. Front-yard fences are limited to 3 feet solid or up to 4 feet if the upper portion is at least 50 percent open decorative metal, wrought iron, or similar openwork. On corner lots, the driveway approach sight-distance triangle limits fence and landscaping height to 30 inches to protect driver visibility per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices guidance adopted by Victorville. Along reversed corner lots where side yards face a street, the fence must step down near the front per the sight-triangle rule. Industrial and commercial buffer walls along the Bear Valley corridor and SCLC boundary may be required up to 8 feet to shield adjacent residential uses. Lots with grade differences measure from the lower side. Heights beyond these standards require an administrative adjustment or variance.
