You can place your new white or black vinyl fence anywhere on your property, and this includes up the property line itself. However, you’re responsible for knowing where your property line is, and this can be a challenge. Our fence planning tool can highlight your property’s lines, so you can start planning your new fence installation.

While the state and city don’t have a law that you need to notify your neighbors, it’s always a good idea. You’ll have workmen on your property for a few days, and they’ll make some noise. If you let your neighbors know in advance, it can help you keep a good relationship with them.

When you build a new white or black vinyl fence in Edina, you don’t need a fence permit. However, this lack of permits doesn’t mean that there aren’t codes and regulations for fences. You’ll need to make sure that you meet all those local and state laws when installing your new fence.

During an Edina vinyl fence installation, the footers need to be dug for the fence, making it essential that the person in charge of the project knows if there are any buried utility cables or pipes in those areas. The person in charge of the project needs to call the utilities before digging. At Northland Fence, our team always finds any utilities and puts up a marker where they are, so there aren’t any accidents that might add to the vinyl fence costs.

In the front yard and any area where there’s a sidewalk, the fence’s height can’t be taller than four feet for safety’s sake. All other areas of fencing cannot exceed six feet.

Technically, you can build your new vinyl fence on an easement. However, most easements are owned by either the city or a utility company. At some point, they’ll need access to this area, and they’ll tear down your fence. You’ll need to pay for the fence’s removal, and you’ll still need to rebuild the area of fencing. It’s best to avoid building on any easements on your Edina, MN property.
