Bellville is the county seat of Austin County, at the meeting point of several state highways.
City and county rules
The city's zoning code defines a fence as any construction or hedge over 30 inches high. Its building permits page (30 S. Holland, 979-865-3136) does not explicitly list fences, so call to confirm. The code defines the floodplain as the FEMA-identified 100-year area and sends floodplain permits to separate ordinances.
What to plan for in Bellville
- Call the building office for your address.

- For rural lots, see ranch and split rail fences.

About this area
Bellville has been the Austin County seat since 1848 and is built around a central public square, at the junction of State Highways 36 and 159. Its German heritage and Victorian and brick downtown buildings give the town a historic look. If you are near the square, a fence that suits older homes and stays under any local height rules is a good starting point.
