Do you need a permit?
Laredo requires a permit for a fence.
Section 24-79.2 of the Land Development Code sets the permit threshold by height: a fence that does not exceed seven feet in height, and a masonry wall that does not exceed thirty inches in height, may be constructed without the issuance of a building permit.
