How high can my building be?

A height of a building is limited per the zoning designation of the property. Visit a LADBS office Zoning counter for more information. A building code also limits the height of a building based on the type of construction and the occupancy of the building. Your building will need to comply with the lost restrictive height of the zoning and the building codes.

How high my fence can be?

A fence within the required front yard setback for a property is limited to 3.5 feet above the natural grade. The fence height within the required setbacks other than the front yard setbacks could be limited to 6 feet or 8 feet based on the location of the property. A fence in the Special Grading Area of the City is limited to 6 feet above the natural grade within the required side or the rear yard. Check the zoning for your property to see if it is located within the Special Grading Area.
