Cedar Park's zoning code does not require neighbor consent for a fence, but the Texas Property Code and common law govern shared-fence cost-sharing and boundary disputes.
Cedar Park's zoning ordinance (Chapter 11) and site development standards (Chapter 14) regulate fence height, location, and materials but do not require notification or consent of an adjoining property owner before construction. Privacy fences on single-family residential lots must be located 10 feet behind the front elevation of the principal building (Chapter 14, Division 6). Property line and shared-fence disputes are not handled by the city; they fall under Texas common law and the Texas Property Code, and HOAs typically require fences be built with the finished side facing the neighbor. Property owners should locate the boundary (survey) before construction to avoid encroachment claims.
Encroachment over a property line is a civil dispute between owners, not a city code violation. Zoning violations (setback, height, location) are enforced by Code Compliance with general penalties under Article 1.01 (up to $500/day).
