Odessa does not generally require a permit for standard residential fences under 6 feet. Fences exceeding height limits or on commercial properties may require a building permit or variance.
Standard wood, metal, or vinyl fences at or below the height maximum typically do not require a permit in residential zones. A building permit may be required for masonry walls, fences over 6 feet, or fences in floodplain areas. A variance is needed for fences that exceed the zoning ordinance height limits.
Building a fence that requires a permit without one can result in Code Enforcement action and requirement to obtain a permit or remove the fence.
