Unincorporated Bell County has no fence code because it cannot zone. City requirements apply inside limits: Temple requires a site plan and landscape plan with the building-permit application and sets construction standards for framing and finish.
There is no county fence standard for unincorporated Bell County; the county regulates only platting, sewage and floodplain matters. Cities set the requirements. Temple's UDC Sec. 7.7.2 requires a site plan and landscape plan with the building-permit application demonstrating compliance, and Sec. 7.7.6 requires that framing and posts on street-visible fences face the lot interior, with a rot board or masonry beam under wooden privacy fences. Killeen requires a building permit for any new or replacement fence. Fences must also stay clear of the corner sight triangle. Verify requirements with the city that governs your parcel.
Non-compliant fences inside a city can be denied a permit or cited by code enforcement; the county does not enforce fence construction on unincorporated land.
