Fence Information

The City of Mansfield has adopted new construction standards for all new wood privacy fences and existing wood privacy fences undergoing replacement or repair. Among the new standards now is place:

  • A fence permit is required and must be obtained prior to construction of the new or replacement fence 5 feet in height or greater.
  • Vertical fence posts must now be galvanized steel
  • Horizontal stringers must be used to securely fasten fence materials

The new standards are designed to improve wooden fence construction and prevent the fences from leaning and falling due to rot, decay or vandalism.
