Well looks like all the snow and rain has finally rotted my fence to the point of needing a new one. Looking for some good referrals. I want the old one removed and carted away. What type of permit do I need?

Thanks, Peter

I don't think you need a permit to repair or replace as long as you had a permit for the original.  If you never had a permit than you should get one and avoid the headaches down the road.   

I believe it's a land use permit and that's all you need.   Call ahead and talk to the folks in the land use department.  You may also need a copy of your survey when you apply. 

Seems silly but it serves a purpose and prevents people from erecting oversized fences, encroaching on others properties or obscuring sightlines around a corner.  And many times the fence is required to protect kids from a pool.   If so, you have some additional guidelines regarding the gates.  We still allow people to put up stockade fences in reverse (good side in) and that makes no sense.   

Pretty funny name for a permit.  I need a permit to "use my land."

Carls Fence was great!  They took down and removed and everything was perfect.  I believe they are on Route 9 Toms River.

I also heard that if you are erecting a fence to contain a pet then you don't need a permit.  Is that true? Was just curious?  A friend of mine that lives in Cranford NJ told me that is how her town does it.

We used Dente Fences last summer to replace a falling down one.  They were great, and highly recommended by my favorite contractor.

Here's their website:  www.fencesbydente.com
