Start with the right property information

For an Exeter Township fence, identify the parcel and proposed yard location before selecting a height. Show corners, street frontage, gates and any pool on the plan. If a fence is part of required screening for another land use, have the township confirm the applicable material and construction requirements before choosing a system.

Fence permits in Exeter Township

Confirm the permit and zoning review needed for your specific fence with Exeter Township before work begins. The linked zoning book does not establish a blanket residential fence permit exemption or a universal backyard height limit.

What the official guidance says

Section 5.06 protects sight lines at street corners. Article 17 also contains material and installation requirements for fences used as required screening; those screening provisions should not be treated as the general height rule for every residential fence. Ask the township to review your yard location, zoning, proposed height and any pool enclosure. The township currently links a January 2022 zoning book, so confirm later amendments as part of that review.

Prepare for the permit conversation

Property address and parcel number.
Available survey and a sketch of fence runs, gates, buildings and street edges.
Proposed material, height and approximate length.
Any association instructions, easements or pool-barrier requirements.

This is a suggested preparation list; the local office determines the required application documents.
