Inglewood generally does not require building permits for standard residential fences under 6 feet, but fences exceeding height limits or involving retaining walls do require permits. Block walls and masonry fences over 3.5 feet require a building permit.
Standard wood or chain-link fences up to 6 feet in side and rear yards typically do not require a building permit in Inglewood. However, masonry or block walls exceeding 3.5 feet require a building permit. Fences that exceed the standard height limits require a planning variance. Retaining walls over 4 feet also require engineering review and a permit. All fences must comply with setback and material requirements regardless of permit status.
Unpermitted fences that require permits must be brought into compliance. The city may issue notices to remove or modify non-conforming fences.
