Middlesex County restricts no fence materials. Any limits on barbed wire, electric, or prohibited fencing materials come from your municipality under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law.
Because the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.) delegates land-use control to municipalities, Middlesex County adopts no fence-material restrictions. Prohibitions on barbed wire, razor wire, or electrified fencing in residential zones, and any preference for open versus solid fencing, are set town by town. Edison, Woodbridge, and other Middlesex municipalities maintain their own material limits within their zoning codes, so check your municipal zoning office before choosing materials.
Using a material your town bans, such as residential barbed wire, can trigger a municipal violation notice and an order to replace or remove the fence, with local fines.
