Choosing the Right Fence for Your McKinney HOA

Choosing the Right Fence for Your McKinney HOA

Installing a new fence in McKinney means navigating HOA guidelines alongside city regulations. Communities like Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Adriatica each have specific rules about fence materials, heights, and placement.

Common HOA-Approved Materials

  • Cedar or treated wood: The most common choice in McKinney HOAs, often required to be stained or sealed
  • Wrought iron: Frequently required for front yards and corner lots
  • Vinyl: Accepted in some communities, but check your specific CC&Rs
  • Composite: Gaining popularity but not yet approved in all neighborhoods

Height Restrictions

Most McKinney HOAs allow six-foot privacy fences in rear and side yards, with three to four-foot fences in front yards. Corner lots in Collin County developments often have additional visibility requirements near intersections.

Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch Rules

Both communities require architectural review board approval before installation. Stonebridge Ranch typically mandates cedar with a specific stain color, while Craig Ranch allows more material flexibility but enforces strict setback requirements.
