Rosenberg Sec. 1-481 prohibits fences from being built on or overhanging a property line and lets the city remove dilapidated fences at the owner's expense after a 30-day notice period.
UDC Article XXIV, Sec. 1-481 sets local maintenance and placement rules for fences. No fence or any portion of a fence may be constructed upon or protrude over a property or lot line, and fences must not interfere with public property. Fences must be maintained, must not lean more than twenty percent out of vertical alignment, and damaged or missing portions must be replaced with comparable materials. A dilapidated fence (decayed, deteriorated, or fallen into ruin) triggers a notice from the Code Enforcement Officer; if not corrected within 30 days, the city may remove it and assess the cost as a personal obligation against the owner and a lien against the land.
Allowing a fence to lean more than 20 percent out of plumb, leaving it dilapidated for over 30 days after notice, or building it across the property line can lead to city removal billed back to the property owner.
