Asbury Park requires zoning permits for all fences. Applications need a property survey showing the property line. The Zoning Department reviews applications for height, material, and setback compliance. Fences over 6 feet also need a construction permit under NJ UCC.
All fences in Asbury Park require zoning approval from the Zoning Department (732-502-5708). A Fence Permit Application must be submitted with a property survey accurately showing property lines — the city's interactive Right of Way map is not a substitute for a professional survey. Fences over 6 feet additionally require a construction permit under the NJ Uniform Construction Code with fees of $40 per $1,000 of value. Fences in historic preservation zones may require design review for materials and style consistent with the neighborhood's architectural character. Pool barrier fences must comply with NJ UCC standards. Fence applications in flood zones must address floodway requirements.
Fence without permit: code violation, fines, potential removal. Contact Zoning at 732-502-5708 before installation.
