Toms River requires a zoning permit for all fence construction. No UCC construction permit is needed for fences (except pool enclosures). The zoning review process takes up to 10 business days, with a $75 resubmission fee if denied.
A zoning permit is required for all fence construction in Toms River Township. Unlike many structures, no UCC (Uniform Construction Code) building permit is required for fences, with the exception of pool enclosures which do require a UCC permit. The zoning permit application is processed by the Zoning Office at 33 Washington Street. Reviews can take up to 10 business days for initial approval or denial. If an application is denied, a $75 resubmission fee applies. Fences may not be constructed within the public right-of-way or upon easements dedicated for drainage, conservation, shade trees, riparian zones, or utilities.
Constructing a fence without a zoning permit or in violation of the code carries fines up to $1,000 or imprisonment up to 60 days, or both.
