Farmers Branch fence code in brief
Dallas Fence is registered as a fence contractor with the City of Farmers Branch and pulls the permit for you. The rules that shape most jobs, from Chapter 22, Article VIII of the city code:
| Topic | Farmers Branch requirement |
|---|---|
| Permit | Required for any fence or retaining wall |
| Small repairs | No permit for under 20 linear feet of the same fence in one calendar year |
| Front yard | No fence in any front yard; on some corner lots the street-side yard is off limits too |
| Side and rear yards | 8 ft 6 in maximum, measured from the interior finished grade |
| Street-facing gate | At least one gate, 3 ft wide or more, in the fence section facing a public right-of-way |
An HOA or deed restriction can be stricter than the city, so we look up the rules for your address when we estimate.
Materials the city allows
Side and rear fences must be chain link, wood boards, masonry, or wrought iron or ornamental metal:
- Wood privacy. Wood fence installation in Western Red Cedar on galvanized steel posts set in concrete. The code requires wood to be stained, pressure treated, painted or sealed, so we plan fence staining or another approved finish into the job.
- Chain link. Chain-link fencing suits dog runs and back lines where screening is not the goal.
- Ornamental metal. Iron fencing gets the rust-resistant coating the code calls for. On business properties, security fencing stays within the same material list.
- Repairs. Fence repair has to continue the pattern and materials already in place from corner post to corner post.
