Do I need a permit to install a fence in Burlington County, NJ?

Yes. In Burlington County, fence permits come from your township, not the county. Towns like Mount Laurel and Moorestown usually review height, placement, and corner visibility. HOAs often require approval first. Pool fences and front-yard fences commonly face extra review.

How close can a fence be to my property line in Burlington County?

Many Burlington County towns allow fences near property lines, but local details matter. Utility easements, drainage swales, and corner lots often limit placement. Suburban neighborhoods frequently have rear-yard utility corridors. Reviewing your survey and local zoning rules early helps avoid moving posts later or failing inspection.

Are fence height rules the same in every Burlington County town?

No. Fence height rules vary by township and yard type. Rear and side yards often allow up to six feet, while front yards are commonly limited to four feet. Corner lots may face stricter sight-line rules near streets. HOAs can set lower height limits or require specific styles, even when town rules allow more.

Why is aluminum fencing common around pools in Burlington County?

Pool fencing adheres to stricter safety standards than standard fencing. Aluminum fencing is often approved because it meets spacing, visibility, and self-closing gate requirements. In towns like Evesham Township, pool barriers may require both zoning and construction permits, making material choice important from the start.

How do soil and drainage affect fence posts in Burlington County?

Much of Burlington County sits on sandy Coastal Plain soil. It drains well but requires sufficient post depth to remain stable. Shallow posts can shift over time, especially on open lots or near creeks. Properties closer to the New Jersey Pinelands often require adjusted installation methods to account for wind and soil movement.
