There are a couple of things you should do prior to installing a fence and here are some specifics for Hillside Township, Union County, NJ. You must know your property lines. This is usually done by referring to your property survey. It is usually best and sometimes imperative to have the property surveying company put stakes in to physically mark your property lines. Then, once you have a layout, and have chosen the type of fence you prefer, make sure it is compliant with the Township’s fence codes and ordinances (view-able below). Next is to contact the town (contact info below), to verify if your plan is permissible. We at Academy Fence can help you with every step of the process.
