Fillmore restricts barbed wire and razor wire fencing in residential zones. Agricultural zones may allow barbed wire for livestock containment. Chain link, wood, vinyl, wrought iron, and masonry are permitted materials in residential areas with aesthetic standards.
Fillmore's zoning code restricts fencing materials in residential zones. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electric fencing are prohibited in standard residential zones but may be permitted in agricultural zones for livestock containment. Acceptable residential materials include wood, vinyl, wrought iron, ornamental metal, chain link, masonry block, and composite materials. The city's historic downtown area may have additional material requirements to maintain architectural character. Chain link fences in front yards may require slats or landscaping screening. Concrete block walls must be finished and may require caps. The city encourages materials consistent with Fillmore's small-town character.
Installing prohibited fencing materials in residential zones is a code violation. Property owners receive a notice to correct with a compliance deadline. Continued non-compliance results in administrative fines through the code enforcement process.
