League City allows fences on side and rear property lines per Section 125-4.2(5), which permits encroachment into required setbacks. The finished side of the fence should face outward. Texas common law governs shared fence cost disputes.
Section 125-4.2(5) permits fences located on side or rear property lines to encroach into any required side and rear yard setback. This allows property owners to build fences directly on property lines. The clear vision triangle requirement in Section 125-4.4.1 applies to corner lots where fences near intersections must be 30 inches or less. League City does not have a specific good-neighbor fence ordinance, but the general principle is that the finished side faces outward toward neighbors. Texas does not have a statutory shared fence cost law. Property owners should verify their exact property line with a survey before building on or near the boundary.
Fence setback violations or vision triangle violations: fine up to $500 per offense. Fence placement disputes are civil matters resolved between property owners.
