Lewisville, TX Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Lewisville's zoning and property maintenance codes regulate fence materials in residential districts. Approved materials include wood (cedar, pine, treated lumber), chain link (with or without privacy slats), wrought iron, ornamental aluminum, vinyl/PVC, masonry (brick, stone, stucco-over-block), and composite materials designed for fencing. Prohibited materials in residential zones include barbed wire, razor wire, concertina wire, electric fencing, corrugated metal panels, sheet metal, plywood, particleboard, pallets, and scrap or salvaged materials not intended for fencing. Chain link fences with privacy slats are permitted but some HOA covenants prohibit chain link altogether. Masonry fences and walls over 4 feet may require engineering and a building permit. The city does not regulate fence stain or paint color, but fences must be maintained in a uniform and structurally sound condition. Living fences (hedges) are regulated under landscaping and vegetation codes rather than fence codes, though they must comply with sight triangle restrictions at intersections.
