Holiday City-Berkeley (pop. ~12,943) is a 55+ retirement CDP within Berkeley Township in Ocean County, NJ. Berkeley Township is the controlling municipality. The Berkeley Township Code is hosted at https://ecode360.com/BE0820 and Article XI (Zoning District Regulations) sets accessory-structure standards including fences. Under standard Berkeley Township practice, residential fences in R-50, R-60, R-100, R-125, R-150, R-200 and R-400 zones must not exceed 4 feet in the front yard, 6 feet in side or rear yards, must be set on the property line side with the finished face outward, and a fence/zoning permit must be obtained before installation. Pool barriers in any zone must be at least 4 feet high under N.J.A.C. 5:23 (Uniform Construction Code, BOCA pool barrier standard). Most Holiday City sub-association communities (Holiday City South, Carefree, West, Heights) additionally enforce HOA fence rules that are typically stricter than township minimums — homeowners should clear designs with their HOA architectural committee before applying for the township permit.
Fences erected without a zoning permit or exceeding height limits can be cited by Berkeley Township Code Enforcement; the township may issue a notice of violation requiring removal or modification, plus per-day fines up to $1,250 under N.J.S.A. 40:49-5. HOA covenants are separately enforceable in Superior Court.
