Dallas Fence Permit Guide

Most homeowners don't want to learn the fence code. They want to know the fence is legal and that somebody else is handling the paperwork. That's us:

• We check your address first. At the free on-site estimate we look at the yard, the height you want, corner-lot and alley sightlines, pools and easements, and tell you whether a permit applies.
• We file the permit. We submit the application and the drawings the city asks for. Permit needs are itemized in your written estimate, so the scope you approve is the scope we build.
• We build once it is issued. Most installs start within days of the approved estimate, or as soon as the permit comes through when one is needed, and take 1 to 5 days depending on size.
• We help with your HOA. HOA rules are separate from city code and can be stricter on height, material and stain color. Send us the restrictions and we design to them and put together what the HOA asks for. The approval itself comes from the HOA.

These are the limits that decide most Dallas fence jobs. They apply inside Dallas city limits, including Preston Hollow, North Dallas and Lake Highlands.

Every suburb writes its own fence rules, and none of them match Dallas. We are registered in each one and pull the permit there too. Highland Park and University Park are separate towns even with a Dallas mailing address. Pick your city for its limits and what we handle:
