Galloway Township bars concertina and barbed-wire fences in residential use, allowing them only for agricultural, governmental, or public-utility purposes. Most standard residential materials (wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain-link) are permitted within the height and setback rules.
Under Chapter 233, concertina or barbed wire fences are not permitted except as part of an agricultural or governmental use and public utilities. This keeps hazardous, industrial-style fencing off ordinary residential lots. Common residential materials such as wood board, vinyl/PVC, aluminum, and chain-link are allowed provided the fence stays within the six-foot height limit, honors the 20-foot front setback, shows its finished side outward, and does not obstruct a corner sight triangle. Electrified fencing is likewise treated as inappropriate for residential zones. The Zoning Officer reviews material and design at permit stage.
A prohibited barbed-wire or concertina fence in a residential zone is a Chapter 233 violation subject to a removal order and municipal-court penalties.
