FAQ
No, your neighbor cannot attach anything to your fence without your consent. Any modifications to your property, including additional structures or attachments on your fence, require authorization from the property owner. A New Jersey Fence Line Agreement can outline rules about such matters, ensuring that both parties understand their rights and responsibilities. Open communication can help strengthen neighborly relationships and prevent conflicts.
If your fence is right on the property line between your property and your neighbor, neither of you owns a side the fence can be considered a shared responsibility. If the fence falls to one side of the property line, it is wholly owned by the property owner whose side it's on.
No fence higher than four feet shall be erected in any front yard in a residential zone. With the exception of rear property lines, no fence higher than four feet shall be erected along a public right-of-way. Any fence erected along a public right-of-way shall be set back at least five feet from the property line.
You should try to figure out where the boundary between the two properties is. As long as it's not higher than 2m, your neighbour is free to put up a fence on their property. If you have an issue with the fence, you should always try to resolve the situation in an informal way.
Fences can be placed on the property line or attached to a neighbor's fence only with the neighbor's written consent. Otherwise fences should be placed six inches to one foot away from the property line to avoid disputes in the future.
When looking at the plans, the ownership is indicated by a T marked on the plans on one side of a boundary. If the T is written on your side of the boundary, you're responsible for maintaining it. If there's an H (although actually it's two joined Ts) the boundary is the joint responsibility of both parties.
Customers having new fencing installed often ask us exactly where they should position their new fence. Getting it right avoids (potentially costly) disputes over encroachment in the future. As a rule of thumb, the outer face of the fence should be placed along the boundary. The posts should stand on your land.
How Close To The Property Line Can I Build? Fences are typically built between 2 and 8 inches from the line between properties. Some areas will allow the building of fences directly on the property line, but in this case, you'll have to cooperate with your neighbor and potentially share the cost of the fence.
Fences can be placed on the property line or attached to a neighbor's fence only with the neighbor's written consent. Otherwise fences should be placed six inches to one foot away from the property line to avoid disputes in the future.
The exact amount a building needs to be set back from the property line will vary from one location to another. However, the required setback on the side is typically between 5 10 feet, while the front and back require around 10 20 feet at a minimum.
