Fence Installation & Repair services in Cupertino
Seven feet is the number to remember in Cupertino. At or under it, a side or rear fence needs neither a building permit nor a signature from next door. Between 7 and 8 feet the city wants its neighbor approval form and a building permit. That matters here because so many small postwar houses, especially in Rancho Rinconada, are being replaced by taller ones, and the owners on both sides suddenly want more screening. We write one scope that both households can sign. Other parts of town ask for different things. Fairgrove's Eichlers call for simple boards with no ornament. Monta Vista and the streets west of Foothill Boulevard climb toward the hills, where deer and grade push owners toward open metal or mesh.

Permits and local rules
Cupertino Municipal Code section 19.48.030 is the fence ordinance. In residential zones the front yard limit is 3 feet and side and rear fences may reach 8 feet, with the neighbor approval form and a building permit required above 7 feet. Driveway gates are normally set 30 feet back, hillside zones have wildlife-friendly rules, and a fence outside the ordinance needs an exception heard in public.
