The Town of Little Elm Building Safety Division requires a permit for fence construction on residential and commercial property. Applications are submitted through the towns MyGov permitting portal or in person at Town Hall at 100 W. Eldorado Parkway. A site plan or survey showing the property lines, proposed fence location, height, and materials must be included with the application. The Building Safety Division reviews the application for compliance with Chapter 106 Zoning setback, height, and material requirements. Inspections are scheduled after construction to verify the fence matches the approved plans.

Property owners are responsible for verifying their property lines before construction, and the town recommends obtaining a current survey.
