No fence permit is required from Travis County for unincorporated properties. Counties cannot issue zoning-based building permits for residential fences. On-site sewage and floodplain permits still apply separately if the fence affects a regulated feature.
Subdivisions under platted restrictions may require Architectural Review approval. Austin ETJ subdivisions follow city subdivision rules. Fences within FEMA floodway may trigger Travis County Development Services floodplain review. Contact Travis County at (512) 854-4260 for enforcement. This permits rule under Travis County's fences ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Travis County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Travis County code enforcement directly or consult the official Texas municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
