Delano follows the California Building Code threshold for fence permits: fences 7 feet tall or shorter are generally exempt from building permits, while fences over 7 feet require a building permit issued by the Delano Building Department.
Even where a building permit isn't required, fences must conform to Development Code §20.10.90 height limits and to corner-visibility/sight-line standards (§20.10.40.m). Walls and fences may also be required as a condition of project approval to provide sound attenuation between commercial/industrial uses and residential parcels (DC §20.10.90.2.b–c).
Construction without a required permit is a zoning code violation; stop-work and 'work-without-permit' fees apply.
