Why is the front yard the tricky part in Santa Ana?

Because the city regulates it closely. A front-yard fence over 18 inches needs a permit, and the height cap depends on whether your street is an arterial. That is why so many Santa Ana homes have a low wrought-iron fence and gate out front.

Behind the house it is simpler. Side and rear walls and fences can go up to 8 feet, which leaves room for real privacy along the back of the lot.
