Edinburg's fence regulations are in the UDC (Unified Development Code). Fences must be smooth side out toward the street. No specific state height preemption — local zoning governs.
Under Edinburg's UDC, fences facing public rights-of-way must be smooth side out with rails facing inward. Chain link fences in residential zones must have finished edges at the top. Fences must be placed 18 inches from public sidewalks (4-ft or narrower sidewalks) or up to the sidewalk edge for wider sidewalks. Damaged or unsafe fence materials are prohibited.
Fences exceeding height limits receive a notice to comply with a 30-day correction deadline. Failure to comply carries fines of $50–$200 per day until the fence is brought into compliance.
