Santa Clarita does not require neighbor consent to build a fence on your property. California's Good Neighbor Fence Act (CC 841) may require shared costs for boundary fences. A property survey is recommended before building near the line.
Property owners may build fences without neighbor approval. California's Good Neighbor Fence Act (Civil Code Section 841) presumes that both neighbors benefit equally from a shared boundary fence and are equally responsible for maintenance costs. Property surveys are recommended to confirm boundary lines. The city does not mediate fence disputes between neighbors.
Boundary fence cost disputes are civil matters under California law. The city enforces only zoning height and material requirements.
