Chaska, Minnesota, allows all residential fences to be installed up to the property boundaries but not past. If fences fall on the property line, both sides of the structure must be adequately maintained. Any fences adjacent to public trails must be installed at least ten feet from either side of the accessway.

Minnesota does not require residential homeowners to disclose their plans for fence construction to neighbors, but it is always a nice gesture to avoid any conflict.

Chaska provides an online fence zoning application that outlines the regulations for residential fencing. The city asks all homeowners to submit this application along with plans for the projected fence.

Your expert installer from Northland Fence will take on the task of notifying Gopher State One Call before construction begins. Doing so ensures that we won’t run into any hazardous situations with live utilities later in the installation process.

Rear boundary fences cannot exceed six feet in height, while side and front-facing fences must remain under four feet. Corner lots may have additional restrictions in Chaska, Minnesota.

Chaska allows property owners to build fences on public easements. However, the city is not responsible for damages, repairs, or replacement costs should they need access to the easement at any point.

Residential property owners may not install barbed wire, chicken wire, or other dangerous alternative fencing materials anywhere in Minnesota. Chaska also has restrictions on installing chain link fencing, so check with the city before construction.
