Texas law and Round Rock code do not require neighbor consent for fence construction. The 'good neighbor' convention applies — the finished side should face out. Disputes may be handled through civil mediation.
Round Rock does not require neighbor consent or notification before building a fence on your property line. Texas common law generally allows property owners to build fences at the property line without neighbor approval. However, it is best practice to survey the property line before construction to avoid encroachment. The 'good neighbor' fence convention — finished side facing the neighbor — is common but not legally required. Shared maintenance of boundary fences is governed by Texas Property Code §§ 21.001 et seq. Fence disputes are civil matters not typically enforced by the city.
Encroachment on neighbor's property could lead to civil liability. The city does not adjudicate fence disputes between neighbors.
