Fence permits are required in Fort Worth for fences over 6 feet tall. Standard residential fences of 6 feet or less in rear and side yards do not require a permit but must comply with zoning setbacks and materials standards.
In Fort Worth, fences 6 feet or under in the rear and side yard do not require a permit. Fences over 6 feet require a permit and possibly engineering if over 8 feet. Front-yard fences are limited to 4 feet and must be at least 50% open. All fences must comply with sight-triangle visibility requirements. In Arlington, fences under 8 feet in the rear yard do not require a permit. Retaining walls serving as fences may require engineering review. Permit applications require a site plan showing fence location relative to property lines, and the fee is typically $50-$150.
Building a fence without a required permit or exceeding height limits can result in fines of $500-$2,000 per day. Non-compliant fences may be ordered removed at the owner's expense.
