According to Fridley laws and regulations, you don’t need a permit to put a fence on your property. However, you can only place it on your own property line. It’s your responsibility to figure out where that property line is. If you aren’t sure where your property line is located, you may want to obtain a certificate of survey. Keep in mind that fences on corner properties can’t impede vision within the Vision Safety Zone or cause hazardous conditions.

You aren’t obligated to notify neighbors about your vinyl fence installation plans. However, it’s a good idea to let them know about your plans. Since some of the work can be noisy, you don’t want to create unnecessary friction in your neighbor-to-neighbor relationship. You definitely need to speak to your neighbors if you want to attach your fence to their fence.

You don’t need to get a permit for your Fridley vinyl face installation project. However, you need to make sure you are following general fence placement guidelines and height restrictions.

If you are installing the fence on your own, you need to contact utilities. If you choose to work with the Northland Fence installation team, we can speak with all the appropriate parties before installing the fence.

In Fridley, fences within the front yard can’t be higher than 4 feet. Meanwhile, fences within the side and rear yards can’t be higher than 7 feet. In the Visual Safety Zone (on corner lots), the height can’t exceed 30 inches. Our experienced installation team can help you identify where all these zones are and choose panel sizes accordingly.

In Fridley, you can’t build your vinyl fence on an easement. If you aren’t sure about an easement on your property, contact the Fridley City Clerk.
