Navigating Sacramento County Fence Rules—Without the Headaches
One of the most common questions we hear from Antelope homeowners is:
“What kind of fence can I build in Sacramento County?”
Great question—and an important one.
Building a fence that isn’t compliant can lead to fines, red tags, frustrated neighbors, and even being forced to remove the fence entirely. But when you work with a team who lives and breathes Sacramento County rules, it becomes simple.
1. Sacramento County Fence Height Rules (For Antelope, CA)
Here’s what you need to know: Antelope Maximum Fence Height Ordinance
Side & Rear Yards (Interior Yards)
✔ Up to 7 feet tall allowed without a building permit
✔ Lattice counts toward height
This is ideal for privacy, pets, and security.
Front Yard – SolidFence
✔ Solid walls or fences not exceeding three (3) feet
This protects visibility and keeps the neighborhood looking open and inviting.
Front Yard – Open/Ornamental Fence
✔ Fences constructed of chain link or similar woven material, not exceeding four (4) feet, or
✔ Open ornamental Iron fencing not exceeding seven (7) feet.
Do You Need a Building Permit in Antelope?
The simple rule:
No permit is required for fences up to 7 feet tall.
Anything higher usually requires one.
However…
HOAs, easements, and right-of-way areas near sidewalks can add restrictions. Antelope has many neighborhoods with HOAs, especially near new developments.
We review all of this during your free estimate so you stay fully compliant.
Understanding Public Utility Easements (PUEs) in Antelope
Many Antelope homes—especially those along corners, greenbelts, and tract developments—include PUEs along the front or rear yard.
A PUE is a strip of land where utility companies may access underground or above-ground equipment.
Why it matters:
- You can’t block access
- You must not dig into certain zones
- Violations can result in costly relocation fees
As your fence contractor we call in a service check to 811 to ensure the site is clear of underground utility for safe digging.
Does My Neighbor Have to Pay for Half?
Sharing a Fence Doesn’t Always Mean Sharing the Timing — And That’s Okay
Under California’s Good Neighbor Fence Act, both property owners share equal responsibility for maintaining or replacing a boundary fence.
But here’s the part the law doesn’t talk about:
Sometimes your neighbor isn’t ready.
Maybe they’re not prepared financially. Maybe they don’t feel it’s urgent. Maybe life just isn’t lining up for them right now.
And that leaves you stuck—needing privacy, security, or repairs… while trying to preserve a good relationship with the person next door.
It’s more common than you think.
In Antelope especially, we see homeowners every week who find themselves negotiating, persuading, or gently nudging a reluctant neighbor just to get the project moving.
And yes—those conversations can feel awkward.
