Linden Fence Rules: What to Know Before You Build

Linden's fence rules are in its zoning code (Chapter 31, Section 31-20.9). The key points for residential properties:

• 6 feet maximum on residential lots. On interior residential lots, fences can be up to 6 feet tall.
• Privacy fences go in side and rear yards. Solid privacy fences up to 6 feet are allowed only in side and rear yards, not past the front setback line.
• Front of the house: 4 feet and at least 50% open. Any fence between the front setback line and the street can be at most 4 feet tall and at least half open.
• Corner lots: nothing over 3 feet above the curb within 25 feet of a street intersection.
• Finished side faces the neighbors.
• No dangerous fences. Barbed wire, electric fences and metal spikes are not allowed.
• Industrial properties: permitted industrial uses in industrial zones can have fences up to 8 feet.
• Permit: Linden's zoning permit application includes fence work, so plan on a zoning permit.

Source: City of Linden Code, Chapter 31, Section 31-20.9 (ecode360). Rules can change and some properties have extra limits (corner lots, flood zones, HOAs). We review the current requirements for your property during the estimate, and you can confirm with the Linden zoning office.
