Victorville, CA Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Sec. 030(b) lists three prohibited fence and wall types for residential property: razor wire and/or barb wire everywhere, chain link fencing on any new multi-family development, and chain link within the front or street-side yard of single-family lots zoned for less than a half-acre net lot area. Subsection (a) separately requires new subdivisions to build six-foot decorative masonry block walls along interior side and rear project boundaries, along street frontages without front-on units, and along all street-side yards, though a wall is not required where a lot line abuts land zoned or used as open space or recreation.

Table 8-2 caps most rear and side yard fences and walls at 7 feet, dropping to 6 feet in the R-3, R-4 and MDR zones, and Note 3 lets the Zoning Administrator approve an 8-foot fence where there is documented evidence of unique security problems or where the lot backs up to public property. Front yards are limited to decorative garden walls, fences, railings and pilasters no taller than 3 feet (pilasters up to 4 feet) under Note 9, except that lots of a half-acre or larger, or properties using visibility fencing, may install enclosure fencing up to 4 feet in the front.
