Simi Valley allows a range of fence materials including wood, vinyl, wrought iron, chain link, and masonry in residential zones. Barbed wire and razor wire are prohibited in residential areas, and some HOAs impose additional material restrictions.
The Simi Valley Development Code permits most standard fencing materials in residential zones including wood, vinyl, wrought iron, ornamental metal, chain link, concrete block, and composite materials. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing are prohibited in residential zones. Chain link fences in front yards may be prohibited or require screening with vegetation in some residential zones. Masonry walls must be properly engineered with adequate footings. The city does not regulate fence color, though HOAs and CC&Rs may impose additional aesthetic requirements. Temporary construction fencing requires a permit if in place for more than 30 days.
Installing prohibited materials like barbed or razor wire in residential zones is a code violation. Code Enforcement issues notices requiring removal within 30 days. Fines start at $100 for non-compliance after the notice period expires.
