Cedar Park, TX fence rules

Max height (rear yard): 8'
Max height (front of building line): 3'

Only a fence 3' or less is allowed in the front setback. A 6' fence is allowed there only if the lot is larger than 20,000 square feet AND the fence is wrought iron or similar material.
In the rear and side setback a fence may not exceed 8' and must be wood, wrought iron, masonry or similar material, permanently affixed to the ground.
A privacy fence enclosing the rear yard is required on new single-family detached homes, including patio homes.
Nothing more than thirty percent (30%) solid or more than 3' tall may sit where it impairs the sight distance triangle at the intersection of any rights-of-way, and no fence may impede drainage.
Height is measured from the natural grade where the fence post is set to the highest edge of the post. A fence along a public right-of-way must face its finished edge toward the right-of-way, and must be installed at the same height as fencing on adjacent common property lines unless that would break the limits above.
Barbed wire, razor wire, electrified fences and fences topped with barbed or razor wire are prohibited, except to enclose livestock in RA districts or on a property with an agricultural exemption. Fences of paper, cloth, canvas or similar highly flammable material are prohibited outright.
