A zoning certificate is required for a fence, and an application request must be submitted to the Township's Development Services Department prior to installation. Also, Montgomery County requires a building permit if you are planning to construct a concrete wall.
Fences should be no higher than 4 feet in height if located in the front yard, nor 6 feet in height if located in the side or rear yards. Height requirements vary for a corner or double frontage lot. It is recommended that you contact us for additional information.
While fences may be placed directly on your property line, residents are encouraged to speak first with their neighbor to make sure maintenance of the other side of the fence is not going to be a problem. It is recommended that you have your property surveyed prior to installing your fence. There are several qualified licensed surveyors listed online.
