Fence permits and local planning in Allen
We install, replace and repair wood, iron and pool fencing in Allen, where the city's own guideline sets the post material, post depth and a short list of approved fence materials, and creek and drainage easements sit behind many lots.
Allen's residential fence guideline
Dallas Fence is registered with the City of Allen as a fence contractor, and we pull the permit for you. The city's one-page Residential Fence Guideline goes beyond height and placement into how the fence is built.
| Topic | Allen guideline |
|---|---|
| Back and side yards | Up to 8 ft |
| Approved materials | Brick, wood, wrought iron; others need Building Official approval |
| Posts and hardware | Metal posts, metal caps and hardware; posts 18 in. deep in concrete |
| Floodplain | No fences of any kind |
| Easements | Engineering Department permission; in the 3-ft lot-line drainage easement, the fence bottom stays at least 3 in. above finished grade |
The guideline doesn't address front yards or say which repairs need a permit, so those are questions for Building and Permitting before a design is set. It also sends owners to their HOA before the city, and an HOA can be stricter; we review its rules for your address at the estimate.
Fitting a fence to Allen's creeks, alleys and newer lots
- Wood privacy: wood fence installation with galvanized steel posts set in concrete and Western Red Cedar pickets fits the guideline's metal-post rule. For board-on-board or 8-foot screening, see privacy fence installation, then fence staining in a color your association accepts.
- Creek and greenbelt lots: wrought iron is an approved material in Allen and the usual choice where an open view matters. See iron fence installation.
- Pools: the guideline calls for a barrier at least 4 feet tall with self-closing, self-latching gates and the latch on the pool side, at least 4½ feet up. We design to it with pool fence installation.
- Rear-entry gates: a sliding gate across an alley driveway has to follow one of the city's two trash-pickup layouts, picked before ordering an automatic gate.

Fence questions from Allen property owners
Practical answers about fence installation, repairs, approvals, and estimates in Allen.
01 Do I need a fence permit in Allen, and who pulls it?
Allen issues its fence permits under the Residential Fence Guideline, and we pull yours: Dallas Fence is registered as a fence contractor with the City of Allen. The guideline doesn't say which repairs are exempt, so ask before assuming a repair is permit-free.
02 How tall can a backyard fence be in Allen?
Up to 8 feet in back and side yards. On top of a retaining wall, the fence can still be 8 feet measured from the adjacent grade, but wall and fence together can't exceed 12 feet. Your HOA may set a lower height.
03 How much does a fence cost in Allen?
Wood fences are $30 to $80 per linear foot installed, iron and steel $20 to $90. Every wood fence we build already has the metal posts Allen requires. Your written, itemized estimate gives the exact figure after a free on-site visit.
04 How soon can you start, and how long does an Allen fence take?
Once you approve the estimate, most installs start within days, and most jobs take 1 to 5 days depending on size. If the job needs a city permit or your HOA's sign-off, those come first.
