Privacy fence regulations vary by municipality. In Fort Worth, fences up to 8 feet are allowed in rear and side yards. Front-yard fences are limited to 4 feet and must be at least 50% open in residential zones. Solid fences over 6 feet require a building permit. All fences must comply with sight-triangle requirements at intersections — typically no fence above 3 feet within 25 feet of an intersection.
