Full Breakdown
Under the Euless Code of Ordinances Chapter 82 (Zoning) and Chapter 14 (Buildings), fence construction must meet multiple requirements: front yard fences limited to 4 feet, side and rear fences up to 8 feet, corner sight-triangle fences limited to 3 feet within 25 feet of intersections, and pool barriers at least 48 inches tall. Fence posts should be set at a depth sufficient for DFW-area soil, typically 2 to 3 feet deep in concrete. Fences on or near property lines require a survey to confirm boundaries. Fences cannot encroach on easements or public right-of-way. Fence permits are required for new construction and most replacements. The finished side of the fence traditionally faces outward. HOA covenants may impose stricter rules. Contact Euless Building Inspections at (817) 685-1400 for plan review.
