Galloway Township requires a zoning permit/approval for fences before installation so the Zoning Officer can verify height, setback, and location against Chapter 233. Construction permits also apply where the state Uniform Construction Code requires them.
Fences in Galloway are reviewed by the Community Development Department, which enforces the Township Code, the Land Management Ordinance (Chapter 233), and applicable State Codes through the permitting process. Applicants submit a plot plan showing the fence location, height, and material so the Zoning Officer can confirm it meets the six-foot height limit, 20-foot front setback, and sight-triangle rules. Fence structures may also fall under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23). Apply through the township's Documents and Forms / technical-applications page or the construction office at (609) 652-3700.
Installing a fence without required approval can trigger a stop-work notice and correction order; the fence may have to be removed or relocated, with municipal-court fines for continued non-compliance.
