Do I need a permit for fence installation or replacement in Green Brook Township?
Permit may be required
It depends. Whether fence installation or replacement needs a permit in Green Brook Township comes down to the details of your project.
Statewide, a construction permit is not required for a fence 6 feet or less in height (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14(b)9). The exemption does not apply to barriers around public or private swimming pools, so a pool fence needs a permit at any height. Local zoning may still limit fence height, location, and style even when no construction permit is needed.
