In Rogers, MN, vinyl fence installers must place the fence within your property lines, not on the property itself, unless otherwise permitted by the city. Fences cannot obstruct utility easements, alleyways and other public right of ways, or roadway visibility. Fences can be placed along your front, side, and back property boundaries, providing the panels are within local height requirements.

You do not have to notify your neighbors of a new fence, though you might want to do so as part of staying on friendly terms. If you and your neighbors sign a joint ownership agreement, the fence can be built directly along the shared property lines.
