New Jersey does not require neighbors to share fence costs by statute. In Brick Township, fences must comply with the setback and placement requirements of Chapter 245 for the applicable zoning district. Accessory uses (including fences) in a side yard abutting a right-of-way must meet half the minimum front yard requirement. Fences should not be placed on neighboring property or within public rights-of-way. Boundary line disputes are civil matters resolved between property owners. HOA rules may impose additional restrictions.
Fences placed on neighboring property or in rights-of-way must be removed. General code penalties apply.
