Fence permits are required in Union City under Chapter 223 (Land Development Ordinance) and NJ UCC. A zoning permit must accompany the building permit application. Applications are processed by the Zoning Officer at Union City City Hall.
Chapter 223 (Land Development) requires that no building permit be issued without an accompanying approved zoning permit. Fence construction requires both a zoning permit (reviewed by the Zoning Officer) and a building permit from the Construction Code Official. The Zoning Officer reviews applications within 10 business days (applications not acted on within 10 business days are deemed approved). A property survey confirming lot boundaries should accompany applications. Union City Building/Zoning Department is at City Hall, 3715 Palisade Ave., (201) 348-5731. Permit fees vary.
Fence without permit: zoning violation, stop-work order, mandatory removal, and fines.
