Property lines are defined by individual property owners. Your fence must be fully assembled within those boundaries and cannot block access to public rights of way, utility easements, or traffic. You can install a fence directly on the property line if you and your neighbor sign an ownership agreement. Take advantage of our fence planning tool for an added resource when working on your Minnetonka fence installation.

If you’re building a fence on your own property, there’s no legal obligation to notify your neighbors. However, it’s always recommended to keep open communication and let them know you’re beginning an installation to avoid any conflict.

Yes. Every Minnetonka fence installation requires a fencing permit. Luckily, it can be printed for free online.

Before your fence installation in Minnetonka, Gopher State One needs to be called. Our experienced fence professionals will identify and mark your utilities before the installation process. If you decide to handle the installation yourself, make sure to call utilities before breaking ground.

This will vary city by city, but in Minnetonka, your fence can be up to 12 feet high. However, there are additional standards laid out and your HOA may have certain restrictions.

We don’t recommend building a fence on an easement. You can place three walls around an easement so it remains accessible. If the easement becomes damaged, we will not be responsible for repairs.

Electric and barbed wire fences are outlawed in the state of Minnesota.
