Do I need a permit or HOA approval to build a fence in Corpus Christi, Texas?
Many Texas cities require a permit for fences over a certain height, and most HOAs require color/style approval. A good contractor will know your city's rules and help with the survey/property line — confirm this is included before work starts.
How deep should fence posts be set in Corpus Christi, Texas soil?
Texas's expansive clay heaves with moisture, so posts should be set in concrete at least 2 feet deep (more for tall or windy sites). Shallow or dirt-set posts are the #1 reason fences lean within a year — ask how they set posts.
