Fence permits are required in North Richland Hills for any new fence over 7 feet, replacement of more than 50 percent of an existing fence, or any fence in a corridor overlay.
North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances Chapter 102 requires a permit from Planning and Inspections for new fence construction over 7 feet, replacement of more than 50 percent of the linear footage of an existing fence, and any fence within corridor overlay districts along Davis Boulevard, Rufe Snow Drive, Boulevard 26, and Mid-Cities Boulevard. Pool barrier fences require separate review under the International Residential Code. Permit applications need a plot plan showing property lines, easements, the fence location, height, and materials, along with HOA approval letters for neighborhoods like Home Town or Forest Glenn. Standard residential fence permits cost about 50 to 75 dollars and are typically issued within 5 business days. Unpermitted fences discovered during property inspections must be brought into compliance or removed. Texas Property Code Chapter 202 limits HOA denial of natural solar-screen materials, but does not preempt city permits. Apply online via the NRH eTRAKiT portal.
