Fence Installation & Repair services in Hollister
Hollister is over the county line. It is the seat of San Benito County, so nothing about Santa Clara County offices applies, and permits and questions go to Hollister's own Development Services Department. The town has grown fast, with new subdivisions on the south and east sides where production fences are now reaching the age when posts start to go. The older grid around downtown has smaller lots and a mix of picket, chain link and board. One local oddity is worth knowing about: the Calaveras fault runs through town and creeps slowly, and long-time residents can point to curbs and fence lines it has pulled out of straight. Beyond the city are ranches, orchards and row crops, where the work is wire, pipe and wide gates.

Permits and local rules
Hollister's Fences and Walls page cites Municipal Code section 17.16.050. It allows a residential fence of up to 6 feet solid with as much as 2 feet of lattice above, 8 feet in total, and says fences 7 feet or under are exempt from building permits. Corner lots have extra limits, and a retaining wall over 2 feet needs Engineering Division approval. Parcels outside the city, including Ridgemark, are under San Benito County, whose rules we have not verified.
