Unincorporated Brazoria County restricts no fence materials because Texas counties can't zone. Cities and HOAs restrict materials instead: Pearland requires decorative (see-through) front-yard fences, and subdivision deed restrictions commonly limit materials.
No county ordinance restricts fence materials (chain-link, wood, metal, masonry, or barbed wire) in unincorporated Brazoria County, since Texas counties lack zoning authority. Material rules come from your city and, very commonly, your subdivision's deed restrictions or HOA. Pearland's Unified Development Code requires front-yard fences on the property line to be decorative with at least 50% open area, effectively barring solid front fences. Agricultural fencing for livestock on rural tracts is broadly allowed. Always check recorded deed restrictions, which often mandate specific materials such as masonry or wrought iron.
City code enforcement handles prohibited materials inside city limits; HOA deed restrictions are enforced privately. No county material penalty applies in unincorporated areas.
