Collin County does not zone and imposes no fence height limit in unincorporated areas. Property owners may build fences of any height subject to TX Property Code 202 HOA rules and corner visibility common-law duties. Cities set their own limits, typically 6 feet back, 4 feet front.
Ag exemption landowners frequently build 8-foot deer fences on ranch properties. TxDOT right-of-way setbacks apply along state highways (US 75, US 380, SH 121, SH 5). Fences must not obstruct sight triangles at intersections per common-law negligence standards. Contact Collin County at (972) 424-1460 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
