Fencing in Valencia, California
Fences built for the Valencia villages, and the architectural review that approves them.
Wood, vinyl, wrought iron, chain link, and automatic gates. Licensed, insured crews do the work, and the written price by the linear foot arrives before any post is set.
Someone picks up, and the estimate is on-site and free.
Before the first post
The Valencia order of operations.
Your village committee approves the fence before the city ever looks at it, so we work the approval first and the shovel second.
- 01
Walk the line on site
We measure the run, mark the corners and the gate swings, read the fall where a graded pad steps down, and note where the lot meets a paseo, a greenbelt, or a common-area slope.
- 02
Village rules and height
We confirm which village and which association govern the lot, then check the height that applies: up to 6 ft in side and rear yards, and about 42 in inside the required front-yard setback.
- 03
The written number
You have the price before anything is ordered, fixed by the linear foot, with footings, gate hardware, and removal of the old fence broken out on their own lines.
- 04
The architectural submittal
We assemble what the committee asks for, material, color, style, and height, with an elevation and a site sketch. On lots backing the paseo we match the standardized community fence the master association sets.
- 05
Approval, then any permit
Nothing is dug until the association signs off in writing. A solid masonry wall over 42 inches, a retaining wall, or work in the public right of way needs a building permit, and that is pulled after the approval, not before.
- 06
Gate access and install
Woodlands, Tesoro del Valle, and the other gated tracts need gate clearance and a staging plan, so that is arranged ahead of the crew. Licensed, insured installers set the run, and we walk the finished line with you.
Step four is where a Valencia fence usually stalls. We build the submittal into the schedule, so the review runs while the material is on order rather than after.

Valencia fencing, up close
We build for the way Valencia is actually laid out.
Valencia is a master-planned community organized into named villages, and the village is the first thing that shapes a fence here. Old Orchard, Valencia Glen, Northbridge, Woodlands, Bridgeport, West Creek, and Tesoro del Valle each sit under their own homeowners association, and almost every one runs a strict architectural review of fence material, color, style, and height. We plan that submittal into the schedule rather than discovering it late, because in these villages the association approval comes before the city ever sees the job.
The paseo network is the second thing. Valencia is threaded with pedestrian paseos, greenbelts, and the bridges and tunnels that link the villages to the parks and schools, and a great many lots back directly onto them. Those rear boundaries usually have to match a standardized community fence the master association sets, so we build to that standard and coordinate the common-area edge rather than treating it like an ordinary back line.
Then there is the ground. The older central villages sit on flatter valley pads, while the newer hillside villages climb the foothills on cut-and-fill graded pads, with an uphill cut face and a downhill fill slope. Add the expansive valley clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer, the autumn Santa Ana wind, and the foothill fire zone, and the footings, the post depth, and the material choice all follow from where in Valencia your lot actually sits.
Valencia falls under the City of Santa Clarita, so 17.57.070 applies: six feet by right at the sides and rear, 42 inches in any yard that faces a street.
Pricing
What a fence costs in Valencia.
Installed ranges, by the linear foot. Your written estimate narrows to your run, your material, and the standard your village sets.
| Fence type | Installed per linear ft | A 150 ft run |
|---|---|---|
| Chain link | $18 to $40 | $2,700 to $6,000 |
| Wood privacy | $30 to $60 | $4,500 to $9,000 |
| Vinyl / PVC | $40 to $70 | $6,000 to $10,500 |
| Wrought iron | $50 to $120 | $7,500 to $18,000 |
Ranges cover posts, panels, hardware, and labor. Old fence removal, graded-pad footings, a paseo-standard match, and premium ornamental lines move you up the range. Financing is available.
Your village sets the standard, and your grade sets the footing. Both are read on site, before a number goes in writing.

Valencia fence questions.
How much does a fence cost per linear foot in Valencia?
Chain link installs at about $18 to $40 per linear foot, wood at $30 to $60, vinyl at $40 to $70, and wrought iron at $50 to $120. Put 150 feet of six foot wood privacy fence on a village lot and the total lands between $4,500 and $9,000, before any HOA review or graded-pad footing work.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Valencia?
A standard residential fence at or below the allowed height usually does not need a building permit from the City of Santa Clarita, but a masonry wall over 42 inches, a retaining wall, or work in the public right of way generally does. In the Valencia villages, the HOA architectural approval is the step that matters most, and it comes before any city permit.
Are the fencing crews licensed and insured?
Yes. Licensed, insured crews install every fence in Valencia, and we confirm that standing in our files before the first post goes in the ground.
