According to local Fridley, MN, city codes, residential fencing must be located entirely within the property lines of the specific property. As the property owner, you need to know your property lines and ensure the planned fencing does not lay outside of your property. Fencing may also not interfere with easements or restrict access to public or city utilities.

You are not required to notify your neighbors of your new fence or your fence installation date, though doing so is part of being a friendly neighbor. If you plan on installing a boundary fence along a shared property line, both neighbors will need to agree with the fence’s installation and will generally share maintenance and installation costs.

Provided your fence complies with all height and placement restrictions, you will not need a permit to install a fence on your residential property in Fridley, MN. However, if you want a higher fence than is typically allowed, you may need to apply for a permit from the city government.

Gopher State One is the organization that will mark the placement of utilities on and around your property prior to fence installation. If Northland Fence is handling the installation, we’ll contact Gopher State One. You’ll be responsible for calling utilities if you’re installing your fence yourself.

Fencing in Fridley, MN, cannot exceed four feet in height around your front yard and seven feet in height around your backyard. Other height and placement restrictions may apply.

You may not block easements such as sewers and sidewalks with a private fence. Ensure your fence placement does not touch on or obstruct an easement near your property.
