Pasadena requires nonresidential developments abutting unscreened residential lots to build a fence along the abutting property line per Sec. 9-3(2) and Sec. 9-197(g). Multifamily fences abutting residential property must be at least 8 feet, opaque, per Sec. 9-4.
Pasadena's fence code addresses boundary situations between different land uses. When nonresidential development abuts an unscreened residential lot, the commercial property must build a fence along the property line per Sec. 9-3(2) and the landscape ordinance Sec. 9-197(g). Multifamily dwellings must be enclosed on all sides except those facing public streets per Sec. 9-4. Where multifamily development abuts residential property, the fence must be at least 8 feet and opaque. Wood fences must use boards at least 1 inch thick and 4 inches wide. Texas does not have a statewide good neighbor fence law requiring shared costs; fence cost sharing is governed by property law and any applicable deed restrictions.
Failure to construct required screening fence: citation and potential stop-work order for commercial/multifamily projects.
