Unincorporated Guadalupe County requires no permit to build a residential fence. The county has no building-permit authority over fences and does no fence inspections. Utility easements and HOA architectural approval are the real constraints; cities like Schertz require their own fence permits.
No fence permit exists at the county level. Guadalupe County does not run a residential building-permit program for fences in unincorporated areas, so a homeowner can build without county sign-off. Two practical checks still apply: call 811 before digging post holes to locate buried utilities, and stay clear of the recorded drainage and utility easements shown on the plat. HOA communities add an architectural-review step requiring written approval of fence design, height, and materials. Inside Seguin, Schertz, or Cibolo, the city building department may require a fence permit.
The county issues no permit-related fence violations. Building in a utility easement can force removal at the owner's cost, an HOA can reject an unapproved fence, and a city can cite an unpermitted fence within its limits.
