Fence permits and local planning in Highland Park
We install, replace and repair iron, cedar and pool fencing in Highland Park. It is its own town with its own fence rules: every fence needs a permit, none may go in the required front yard, and height tops out at 8 feet.
Highland Park fence permits and limits
Dallas Fence is registered as a fence contractor with the Town of Highland Park and handles the permit paperwork: the application, with your stamped survey or a scaled site plan showing the fence, its heights and gates, through to the Town's final inspection. The limits, from the Town's fence ordinance and permit packet:
| Item | Town of Highland Park rule |
|---|---|
| Permit | Required for any fence |
| Required front yard | No fence allowed on residential lots |
| Maximum height | 8 ft, measured on the non-owner's side at final inspection |
| Front building line | No wood or other flammable fence along and within it |
| Pool enclosure | At least 4 ft tall, no openings over 4 in, self-closing and self-latching gates |
Deed restrictions or an HOA can add tighter limits, and we check what applies to your address during the estimate.
Fitting a fence to Highland Park lots
The front-yard ban makes fencing here almost entirely a side-yard and backyard question.
- Front face of the house. Where a fence meets the front building line, the flammable-material ban points to iron fencing rather than cedar.
- Rear and side privacy. Wood fence installation in Western Red Cedar on galvanized steel posts set in concrete works behind the front building line.
- Pools. Pool fence installation in ornamental iron is specified to the Town's 4-inch opening limit.
- Gates and existing fences. An automatic gate goes where a fence is allowed. Fence staining and fence repair can refresh a sound fence without a full rebuild.

We work throughout the town, from Beverly Drive and Armstrong Parkway to Lakeside Drive and Turtle Creek. University Park, directly north, is a separate city with different fence rules. On the other three sides, City of Dallas rules apply: see Preston Hollow and our Dallas fence permit guide.

Fence questions from Highland Park property owners
Practical answers about fence installation, repairs, approvals, and estimates in Highland Park.
01 Do I need a permit for a fence in Highland Park, and who pulls it?
Yes. The Town requires a building permit before any fence is built. As a fence contractor registered with the Town of Highland Park, we file it for you, using your stamped survey or a site plan drawn to scale.
02 Can I build a fence in my front yard in Highland Park?
No. The Town allows no fence in the required front yard of a residential lot. Wood and other flammable fencing is also banned along and within the front building line, so iron is the usual answer there, with cedar behind it.
03 How much does a fence cost in Highland Park?
Wood fences run $30 to $80 per linear foot installed; iron and steel run $20 to $90. After we measure from your survey, the written estimate gives the exact figure, with gates, removal and the Town permit work itemized.
04 How soon can you start, and how long will the work take?
The Town has to issue the permit before we build. Beyond that, most installs start within days of the approved estimate, and most jobs take 1 to 5 days to install, depending on size.
