North Richland Hills permits wood, vinyl, masonry, wrought iron, and tubular steel fences. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fences are banned in residential zones.
North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances Chapter 102 lists approved fence materials as cedar or treated wood, vinyl, composite, masonry brick or stone, wrought iron, and tubular steel. Barbed wire, razor wire, concertina wire, and electrified fences are prohibited in all residential districts and in corridor overlays. Agricultural zoned parcels may use barbed wire for livestock if 6 feet or taller with the barbed strands above that height. Chain-link is allowed in rear yards but not front yards or corridor-facing frontages. Texas Property Code Chapter 202 protects certain solar devices and drought-tolerant landscaping but does not override city fence material rules. HOAs in communities like Home Town, Iron Horse, and Forest Glenn sometimes require specific wood species (cedar) and finishes. Repairs using mismatched materials require Planning approval. Temporary construction fencing in chain-link is permitted with an active building permit. Call NRH Planning at (817) 427-6300 for approvals.
