Safe Fence Regulations Code Amendment Process

The Development Services Department seeks community input on improvements to fence design safety regulations. This engagement process is in response to Resolution No. 20211104-039, which directs staff to gather stakeholder feedback on the following changes: 

• Requiring flat top styles on new fences of all lengths 
• Applying flat top fence requirements to all new fences of six feet tall or lower 
• Applying flat top fence requirements to substantial fence repairs or remodeling of 50% or more of an existing fence 

Interested stakeholders can provide feedback between April 25 and June 5, 2022 on the dedicated Speak Up Austin page.
