Linden, NJ Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

9, Fences and Walls, sets Linden's basic height framework outside the H-I industrial zone. 5. Fences over that baseline must be split rail, slotted chain link or an equivalent at least 50 percent open, and the finished side has to face the adjacent property, so a solid privacy fence at six feet is not automatically allowed on every lot line. On corner lots citywide except in the H-I Zone, no fence, sign, structure or planting may be erected or maintained above three feet in height, measured from the top of the curb, within 25 feet of any street intersection, preserving a driver's sight line at the corner.

9d permits privacy fencing up to six feet in rear and side yards, up to eight feet for industrial uses on industrial-zoned lots, but any fence between the required front setback line and the street cannot exceed four feet and must stay at least 50 percent open. 23 sets the same three-foot cap in the sight triangle citywide, with a wider seven-foot measurement distance in the C-1 District.
