Fulshear is a fast-growing city in northwest Fort Bend County. Its 2025 population estimate is about 64,600 up from 16,856 in 2020, according to Wikipedia. Fast growth means many new homes with builder fences, plus older lots and acreage.
City and county rules
Fulshear is an incorporated city with a large extraterritorial jurisdiction. The city's Development Services page did not state a fence permit rule when we checked, so we cannot tell you whether a fence permit is required. Call the city to confirm for your address.
Master-planned communities like Cross Creek Ranch and Jordan Ranch have their own design review. Cross Creek Ranch's site describes a review of up to 30 days.
Our work here
We have photographed our work in Fulshear: painted split rail with wire mesh in Fulbrook on Fulshear Creek, a pool-side cedar privacy fence, a white vinyl picket fence under oak trees, and a long pine privacy fence on steel posts.
What to plan for in Fulshear
- Confirm with the city whether your address needs a permit.
- Get HOA approval first if you are in a master-planned community.
- On larger lots, see ranch and split rail fences.
About this area
Fulshear traces back to a 1824 land grant to Churchill Fulshear and was incorporated in 1977, and it has grown from a small town into a city of roughly 65,000 people by a 2025 estimate. That growth includes communities like Cross Creek Ranch, Cross Creek West, Fulbrook on Fulshear Creek, Fulshear Lakes and Weston Lakes, plus older lots and acreage. Fence needs here run from new-subdivision privacy fences to rail fencing on larger land.
