Permitted residential materials include wood (cedar, redwood, composite), vinyl, wrought iron, decorative masonry, and chain link (rear yards only in many subdivisions). Razor ribbon, barbed wire, and electrified fencing are prohibited in residential zones but permitted in industrial areas along Highway 50 with site plan approval. Front yard fences must generally be decorative (wrought iron, ornamental). Chain link with slats may be restricted in HOA communities. All materials must be maintained in good condition to avoid nuisance citations.
