San Diego County limits barbed and razor wire: open fences may reach 8 feet only where the top two feet are barbed or razor wire for security, and WUI fences near buildings must be fire-resistive.
In unincorporated Bostonia, fence materials are governed by San Diego County. Solid fences are capped at 42 inches (front/exterior side) and 72 inches (rear/side) under § 6708, but open fences may reach 8 feet only where the uppermost two feet consist solely of barbed or razor wire and support elements angled from vertical for security. On lots of one acre or larger in the A70, A72, RR, S82, S88, S90 and S92 zones, open fences of woven or barbed wire, wrought iron, pipe corral, or rails may be 72 inches high in the front yard. Masonry fences must use ASTM-grade block, and WUI fences within 5 feet of a building must be non-combustible.
Prohibited materials or over-height wire fences can trigger code compliance action requiring removal or a permit and, in WUI areas, fire-safety correction.
