Lubbock County restricts no fence materials in unincorporated areas because it cannot zone. The City of Lubbock does: residential fences may not use barbed wire, razor wire, electrified components, embedded glass, plywood, fiberglass panels or secondhand materials.
Unincorporated Lubbock County has no material restrictions; the county cannot zone. The City of Lubbock's UDC prohibits residential fences (not tied to permitted livestock) from being built of cast-off or secondhand items such as plywood, particleboard, rope, string, wire or fiberglass panels, and bars barbed wire, concertina, razor wire, electrified components, embedded glass shards and damaged or unsafe materials. Livestock-keeping properties may use chicken wire, hog wire and, with warning signs, electrified fencing. Slaton and Wolfforth enforce their own material standards. Confirm the rules with the city that governs your parcel.
The city can deny a permit or require removal of prohibited materials; the county cannot restrict fence materials on unincorporated land.
