Fence Repairs – Minor: Im only replacing three sections of fencing. Do I still need a permit?
A-8. Yes. Since the original fencing may have been in place for many years, it may no longer comply with current ordinances. Visit our web site at http://www.cherryhill-nj.com to download the Zoning Approval form. Bring in the completed form, a $10 check and a recent property survey with the existing fence dimensions to the Township Zoning Officer for review and approval. Once the Township issues a permit, it is valid for one year. Check to see if you will also need a Building Permit from our Construction Department. 9. Fencing/Location: I plan to put up a new fence. Can I place the fence on my property line? I thought it had to be five inches in from the property line. A-9. Placing the fence on the property line is the recommended location. Please note, however, the Township will not rectify property line disputes. These are civil matters.
