Showing ordinances that apply to Paloma Creek, TX
Paloma Creek is an unincorporated community (population 3,177) in Denton County, Texas. Because Paloma Creek is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Denton County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The material restrictions rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Denton County has no ordinance restricting fence materials in unincorporated areas. Property owners may use any fencing material including wood, metal, wire, chain link, pipe, stone, or vinyl. HOAs commonly restrict materials in subdivisions.
Unincorporated Denton County does not regulate fence materials. Property owners on rural acreage may install any type of fencing including barbed wire, electric fence, welded pipe, hog wire, chain link, cedar privacy fence, stone or masonry walls, vinyl, or composite materials. Barbed wire fencing is common on agricultural properties throughout Denton County and is not prohibited in unincorporated areas. Electric fencing for livestock is permitted and widely used for horses and cattle in the Argyle, Ponder, and Aubrey areas. In HOA-governed subdivisions, deed restrictions typically restrict fencing to specific approved materials such as cedar board, wrought iron, tubular steel, or masonry columns with iron panels. Chain link, barbed wire, electric fence, and corrugated metal are commonly prohibited in HOA communities. Some HOAs require uniform fence staining or painting. Properties adjacent to county roads should avoid materials that could be hazardous to the public if damaged, though this is a general liability principle rather than an ordinance requirement.
No county-level fence material violations exist. HOA violations are enforced through deed restrictions with potential fines, mandatory replacement, and lien authority. Using barbed wire or electric fencing in an HOA community that prohibits them may result in forced removal at the owner's expense.
