Sacramento County allows wood, vinyl, masonry, chain link, and wrought iron fencing in most zones. Barbed wire and electric fences are restricted to AR and AG parcels.
The County Zoning Code does not mandate specific fence materials in standard residential zones but requires fences to be maintained in good repair. Chain link is allowed but discouraged on street-facing yards in some Community Plan areas (Fair Oaks, Carmichael). Barbed wire is allowed on AR/AG parcels above a 6-foot base fence height. Razor wire is prohibited in residential zones. HOAs commonly impose material restrictions (wood-only, specified stain colors) that operate alongside County rules.
Nuisance orders for dilapidated fencing; administrative fines 100 dollars and up; HOA enforcement is separate.
