Fence Lines

Complaints pertaining to landscaping that overhangs beyond property lines are civil matters to be disputed amongst parties of the shared property line. Code Enforcement does not intervene in civil matters, unless there is an imminent danger to the public.

Replacement or repair costs of a shared fence is a civil matter and not enforced by the City of Tracy. However, if in addition, a swimming pool exists at a residence, the property owner of the said residence, must ensure the swimming pool is properly secured. If no barriers have been installed directly around the swimming pool, it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure there are no portions of the surrounding fence that remain unsecured.
