Which fence rules apply in Liberty County depends on where your property sits: each city sets its own ordinance, unincorporated areas follow county code, and historic districts can add stricter requirements. The fastest way to be sure is to look up your exact address.
Unincorporated Liberty County at a glance
In Unincorporated Liberty County, the maximum fence height is typically 6 ft in side and rear yards and 48 in in front yards.
Unconfirmed for fences: the ordinance counts a fence as a structure and calls for a zoning permit from the planning commission ahead of any building permit, but neither office publishes a fence permit, packet or fee, and the county's fee rule carves fences out of its building fee formula. Call both offices before you build.
On corner lots in Unincorporated Liberty County: A lot in a residential zone with a street on more than one side has a front yard along each street, so the 48 in cap applies on both. Nothing over 2 1/2 ft where a driveway meets a public street. At a road intersection, keep the view clear between 30 in and 10 ft above the road within 20 ft of the corner.
