Midland County does not regulate fence heights in unincorporated areas. Texas counties lack zoning authority (Local Gov Code Ch. 233). The county's Subdivision Regulations cover platting, drainage, and street layout but contain no fence height limits. City of Midland zoning sets fence heights only inside city limits.
Midland County has no zoning ordinance and no county building code for fences. The Subdivision Regulations administered by the County Engineer apply when land is platted but do not impose fence height caps. Property owners in unincorporated Midland County typically follow deed restrictions or HOA rules. Inside the City of Midland, zoning code limits residential fences (commonly 4 ft front-yard, 6 ft side/rear) and requires masonry screening between non-residential and residential zones at 8–10 ft.
