Three inputs. A transparent national pattern. A path to a city page only when local sources have been reviewed.
Typical pattern
Fence in California
Complexity Low · $12–$45 per linear foot

California cities tend to be specific about fence height in front yards, accessory-dwelling rules, and wildfire-adjacent building. State ADU law overlays local zoning — it does not erase building permits.
