Westfield Fence Rules: What to Know Before You Build

Westfield's fence rules are in its Land Use Ordinance (Article 12, Section 12.07). Here's what matters:

• Front yard: 4 feet maximum.
• Side and rear yards: 6 feet maximum.
• No construction permit is needed for fences within these height limits.
• Fences can sit on the property line. If a variance allows more than 6 feet, the fence must be set back 1 foot for each extra foot of height.
• Finished side out. If the two sides differ, the finished side faces the street or neighbors.
• Not allowed: electric fences, broken glass, razor wire, barbed wire or other sharp edges.
• Corner lots: the town's sight-triangle rules apply.
• Pools: pool fences fall under New Jersey's construction code, which calls for a barrier at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates.
