Converse, TX Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Converse Municipal Code permits a range of fence materials. Wood privacy fences (cedar, pressure-treated pine) are most common in residential subdivisions. Wrought iron and aluminum are popular for decorative front-yard fencing and pool enclosures. Vinyl (PVC) fencing is permitted and offers low maintenance. Masonry walls (brick, stone, split-face CMU) are common along major collectors and in upscale subdivisions. Chain-link is permitted but often prohibited in HOA areas or restricted to rear yards. Corrugated metal panels and hog-wire panels are gaining popularity for rural-chic aesthetics and are permitted in most residential zones. Restricted materials include barbed wire (commercial and industrial only), razor wire (variance required), electric fencing (AG zones), and materials with exposed sharp edges. Salvaged and reused materials must be structurally sound and present an acceptable finished appearance. HOA covenants frequently specify material and color palettes more narrowly than city code; always check CCRs before purchase.
