CMC Title 19 zoning standards restrict certain fence materials in residential zones. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electric fencing are prohibited in residential areas. Approved materials include wood, wrought iron, vinyl, masonry, and chain link. HOAs typically have additional material and color restrictions.
Camarillo's zoning code prohibits hazardous fencing materials in residential zones including barbed wire, razor wire, concertina wire, and electric fencing. These materials may be permitted in agricultural or industrial zones. Standard approved residential fence materials include: wood (cedar, redwood, pressure-treated), wrought iron, ornamental aluminum, vinyl/PVC, masonry/block, and chain link. Chain link fences may face additional restrictions in front yards or visible areas. Temporary construction fencing requires permits for extended duration. Fence materials must be durable and weather-resistant. In Camarillo's HOA communities, architectural review committees typically specify approved fence materials, stain/paint colors, and styles to maintain community aesthetics. Many HOAs require specific fence profiles (e.g., dog-ear, board-on-board) and prohibit chain link or unpainted wood. The original tract development fencing establishes the community standard.
Using prohibited materials violates CMC Title 19 zoning. Non-approved materials in HOA communities violate CC&Rs and result in HOA fines and required replacement. Contact Community Development at (805) 388-5360.
