No county fence code applies in unincorporated Brazoria County because Texas counties can't zone. City codes set the requirements: Pearland requires a permit, decorative front fences under 4 feet, and compliance with your subdivision's plat and deed restrictions.
There are no county fence construction or design requirements in unincorporated Brazoria County because Texas counties have no zoning power. Requirements come from your city and your subdivision's recorded plat or deed restrictions. In Pearland, the Unified Development Code requires front-yard fences on the property line to be decorative with at least 50% openings and a maximum height of 4 feet, plus a building permit for all fences. Other Brazoria County cities (Lake Jackson, Alvin, Angleton) have their own standards, so verify locally before you build.
Non-compliant fences inside cities face code enforcement and after-the-fact permitting or a variance request. Unincorporated areas have no county fence standard to violate.
