Residential fences in Live Oak are typically limited to 6 feet in rear and side yards and 3 to 4 feet in front yards, with corner-lot visibility triangles required at intersections.
Live Oak fence regulations follow Bexar County suburban standards. In residential zones, fences in rear and side yards may be up to 6 feet tall. Fences in front yards are typically limited to 3 or 4 feet and must be at least 50 percent open (picket or decorative) to preserve neighborhood character and line of sight. Corner lots must maintain a clear-sight triangle at intersections, generally 15 to 25 feet from the curb, where fence height is capped at 3 feet for traffic safety. Taller fences up to 8 feet may require a variance or conditional approval. Commercial and industrial properties may exceed residential limits with appropriate zoning. Always obtain a permit before construction.
