The Ellis County Commission will consider approving changes to the county zoning and subdivision regulations at Monday’s meeting.

The Ellis County Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted on proposed changes at its March 28 meeting.

One of the major additions was regulations on fences on properties less than 40 acres.

Among the additions is a permit would be required to build, replace or extend a fence or wall. All fences are also limited to 6 feet in height unless it is in the front yard, which is limited to 48 inches.

Those changes do not affect agricultural districts.

Proposed changes can be found HERE.

The Ellis County Public Building Commission will meet at 5 p.m. with the regular commission to follow at the County Administrative Center.
