Teaneck Township limits fence height to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards within residential zones, with stricter limits at corner lots for visibility.
Under Teaneck's zoning ordinance, fences in residential districts cannot exceed 4 feet in the front yard or 6 feet in side and rear yards. On corner lots, fences within the sight triangle must remain low to preserve visibility for vehicles and pedestrians. Fences exceeding these heights require a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The finished side of the fence must face neighboring properties.
Violations may result in fines up to $1,250, removal orders, and per-day penalties until the fence is brought into compliance.
