Height Limits
โSome RestrictionsLA caps front yard fences at 3.5 feet and side/rear fences at 6 feet in residential zones. If your property sits on a corner lot, the rules get more complicated because of sight-line requirements โ you may be limited to 3 feet within a triangular area near the intersection. Permits are required for any fence over 6 feet or for block/masonry walls over 3.5 feet in front yards. The city doesn't regulate fence materials as strictly as some places, but chain link in front yards is prohibited in many specific plan areas. HOAs in LA often have their own rules on top of city code.
