Aledo Fence Permits
There are several rules in this family-centric suburb with a proud historic history. For starters, front-yard fences are capped at 3 feet and must be decorative in nature. Backyard fences can be built up to 8 feet. A fence-building permit will cost you $70.
The city restricts materials to masonry, wood and vinyl that are aesthetically consistent with existing buildings. Downtown masonry must keep with downtown architecture: rock, brick, wood or wrought iron. No chain link.
If your home is backing up to a major street, the city requires masonry screening walls. Other requirements include keeping fences back 15 feet from an intersection for visibility.
