A smarter first step for your project
New Jersey project preflight

Know what to check before you build.

Planning a fence? Start with a simple property and project preflight that helps you organize the questions to ask your local construction office.

Launching with fence & setback projects

Start your fence preflight

Tell us a little about the property. We'll create a preliminary checklist you can use when contacting your municipality.

This is an informational preflight, not a permit application, zoning determination, survey, or legal opinion. Local requirements vary. Always confirm requirements with the municipality before buying materials or starting work.

Municipal confirmation needed

Questions to verify with the local office

    Documents to gather

    Do not treat this checklist as approval to build. Ask the municipality which zoning, construction, engineering, and other approvals apply to this exact property and design.
