Grand Prairie Fence Permits
This DFW mid-city suburb requires a permit for new fencing, costing residents $25 to file.
The maximum fence height in the city is 8 feet for side and back fences. Front-yard fences are capped at 3 feet, or 4 feet if the fence is at least 50 percent transparent (wrought iron, chain link, rail, picket).
The city has extensive rules, including diagrams to showcase the appropriate thickness and heights of various pieces of masonry and wood fences. You’ll definitely want to make sure the smooth side of your fence is facing the public.
