Fulshear requires property owners to obtain a permit before constructing a new fence or replacing more than fifty percent of an existing fence on residential or commercial property within city limits.
Under Fulshear's Code of Ordinances and Development Services permit guide, fences require a building permit before construction. Applications must include a site plan showing fence location relative to property lines, easements, and rights-of-way, along with details on materials and height. The Development Services Department reviews submittals for compliance with site development standards. Replacement of damaged sections under the threshold typically does not require a new permit, but full replacement does. Inspections may be required after installation.
Building without a permit can trigger a stop-work order, removal at the owner's expense, and citations issued through municipal court for code violations.
