Fence Repair Requests From McKinney, TX
McKinney, just north of Allen, is the younger city. Requests from McKinney addresses are taken here and passed to a fence contractor who covers both.
Four Years Younger on Average
McKinney’s median home dates from 2007 against Allen’s 2003. A fence from 2007 is 19 years old in 2026, which is squarely in the years of first post failures.
So the typical McKinney call looks like the typical call from Allen’s 2000s subdivisions: a stretch that leans, soft boards along the bottom, a gate that drags. Those are repairs. McKinney also has a historic core and large tracts built after 2015, where the answers differ, so the year your own house was built matters more than the city average.

McKinney’s Rules Are McKinney’s
The height limit, metal post requirement and pool latch figures on this site are the City of Allen’s. They are not McKinney’s. The City of McKinney regulates fences under its own code and permit process, which this site has not read.
For a McKinney address, confirm requirements with the City of McKinney before replacing a fence, and check with your homeowner association if you have one.
State-level points still apply: Texas811 before digging, and the State Law Library’s guidance that neighbors generally are not required by law to split a fence’s cost unless they agreed to.
McKinney Fence Questions
Do Allen’s fence rules apply in McKinney?
No. McKinney has its own. Check with the City of McKinney.

Often. If most posts are sound, replacing the failed ones and the worst boards is usually the better value. Ask for a replacement price too if many posts move.
