Huntington Park, CA Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Three sections of the Huntington Park Municipal Code restrict fence materials in the City of Huntington Park. Section 9-2.1709 bans electric fences outright: no electrically charged fence can be erected, constructed, or maintained in the City. Section 9-2.1710, headed barbed wire and chain link fences, prints a ban on barbed wire and other sharp-pointed materials, again citywide and again covering erecting, constructing, and maintaining. The ban reaches existing fences as well as new ones because the word maintained is printed in both sections.

The chain link rule sits in the residential zone standards of § 9-2.1704(f). Fence or wall materials in R-L, R-M and R-H zones include wrought iron, wood, concrete block, brick and vinyl. Vinyl fences must duplicate a wood grain appearance. Chain link fences or chain link gates of any type are not permitted on any residentially zoned or developed property. Within the front yard, § 9-2.1704(g) limits fences and walls to decorative open fencing such as wrought iron, and block wall materials must be decorative in finish such as slump block, brick or other decorative stone. Block walls can be stucco covered if the stucco color matches the primary color of the residential structure.

The definition of a block wall in § 9-2.1701 allows only slump block, split face brick, concrete or other masonry decorative material, with only interior reinforcement or exterior plaster otherwise used, and the Director of Community Development approves it. Section 9-2.1707 separately prohibits using any fence for advertising. Any fence or wall also needs its own permit under § 9-2.1702.
