Fence height limits set by Irvington zoning code. Standard NJ pattern: 4 ft front yard, 6 ft side/rear yard. Permits required for all fence installations.
Irvington zoning code regulates fence heights by yard location. Rear and side yard fences are typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences are limited to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility triangle requirements at intersections. Retaining walls with fences have combined height calculated. Taller fences require a variance from the zoning board of adjustment. NJ Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.) grants municipalities zoning authority over fences.
Code enforcement notice with correction period. Remove or modify non-compliant fence. Fines $100 to $500 if not corrected.
