Arlington Fence Permits
- In this Fort Worth suburb, you must obtain a permit if you’re building new or replacing more than 50 percent of an existing fence. The permit costs $25.
- The city allows for 8-foot-tall backyard fences and 4-foot-tall front-yard fences.
- In the front yard, the fence must be ornamental metal that is 75 percent transparent. It may have masonry columns, but wood pickets or solid fences are a no-go.
- The city is strict on its building materials list. You can only use masonry, ornamental metal, cedar or redwood, composite fencing or vinyl fencing in flat white or natural tones like rust or tan. Wooden picket fences are only allowed if constructed with metal fixtures. On the no list: chain link, sheet or corrugated metal, cast-off or secondhand items.
- Arlington takes its fencing seriously, with detailed information on code violations including fencing leaning more than 15 degrees at any point.
- Additional restrictions include setbacks and height restrictions regarding visibility triangles on corner lots, and homeowners must place the pretty side of the fence (no exposed posts) toward public streets.

Why Do You Enjoy What You Do? Every project and customer is different so there’s never a boring day on the job.
Project You’re Really Proud Of? We recently finished up a beautiful cedar fence project in South Arlington. I love this project, because it speaks to how we solve customer problems. In this situation, a grandmother loved watching her grandkids during the day, yet their play area was lacking. The fence was in poor shape – causing splinters and on a few occasions, her grandkids slipped through the slats into the neighbor’s yard. We decided to replace the missing sections and stain the entire fence into a rich cedar color. The final result was a secure fence that would protect her family, and it added curb appeal. An automated gate was added for the driveway to increase security and square footage of the play area.
