West Covina regulates fence materials through its zoning code. Fencing plans require review by the Planning Division. Specific material requirements vary by zone and district.
The West Covina Development Code establishes material standards for fences and walls. Freestanding fences at intersections must conform to traffic sight area standards. Interior retaining or garden walls not visible from surrounding properties or public right-of-way may be up to 6 feet with a 12-foot total including a fence atop. Planned Development areas follow their specific design standards. Barbed and razor wire are generally restricted to commercial/industrial zones. All fence construction must comply with the updated Development Code (Ordinance No. 2519).
Non-compliant materials trigger code enforcement. Community Development reviews all fence plans.
