Nueces County cannot zone, so it sets no fence height limit. Inside Corpus Christi and other cities, fences must clear the corner visibility triangle (30 inches to 7 feet), and a building permit is required above 7 feet.
Texas counties have no general zoning power, so unincorporated Nueces County imposes no maximum fence height. Corpus Christi's Unified Development Code allows fences within required yards but bars obstructions in the corner visibility triangle between 30 inches and 7 feet above the street crowns. Fences taller than 7 feet generally require a city building permit and engineered plans. Robstown and Port Aransas set their own city limits. HOA deed restrictions may be stricter than any code.
Corpus Christi enforces fence violations through code enforcement; unincorporated county has no fence-height rule to enforce.
