Rosenberg requires a residential building permit for any fence over seven feet tall, plus contractor registration; doing fence work without the proper permit triggers a penalty fee of three times the permit fee.
Under UDC Chapter 1, Section E of the contractor article, no person may erect, alter, or repair a fence in the city without first obtaining any necessary permit from the Building Official. The Residential Building Permit Application identifies fencing over seven feet tall as a permitted activity. Fence contractors qualify as 'limited contractors' and must register with the city, carry $300,000 in liability insurance, and use city-approved plans. Homestead owners may self-permit on their own residence if approved by the Building Official. Permits become void if work is not started within 180 days.
Starting fence construction before the permit is issued results in a penalty fee equal to three times the regular permit fee, in addition to potential stop-work orders.
