Fast Fence Surveys New Jersey
Get Your Fence Survey This Week
Planning to install a fence at your New Jersey property? Most municipalities require a survey showing your property lines before issuing a fence permit. Hudson Survey Company provides fast fence surveys throughout New Jersey—from Jersey City to Bayonne, Newark to Hoboken—so you can get your permit and start installation without delay.
Our fence surveys clearly show where your property boundaries are located, how far your fence must be set back from the property line, and ensure your fence will be entirely on your property.
Why You Need a Survey Before Installing a Fence
Municipal Requirements: Cities and townships throughout New Jersey—including Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Union City, Newark, and most other municipalities—require a current survey before issuing fence permits. Building departments need to verify your fence will comply with setback requirements and be on your property.
Avoid Building on Neighbor’s Land: Even being a few inches over your property line can create serious problems. Your neighbor could demand removal, sue for trespass, or require you to move the fence at significant cost. A professional survey eliminates this risk.
Setback Compliance: New Jersey municipalities have setback requirements—often 1 to 3 feet from the property line—where fences cannot be built. A fence survey shows these setback lines so you know exactly where you can install your fence.
Prevent Neighbor Disputes: Having a professional survey before building prevents disagreements with neighbors about property line locations. The survey provides definitive documentation everyone can trust.
Protect Your Investment: Fences are expensive. Ensure you’re building in the right location the first time rather than facing costly removal and reinstallation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fence Surveys
Most New Jersey municipalities require surveys for fence permits. Even if not required, a survey protects you from disputes and ensures you’re building on your property.
Some municipalities accept surveys from the last 1-5 years, others require current surveys. Check with your local building department. We can often update existing surveys faster than creating new ones.
We stake your property lines and can mark the setback line if you specify your fence location. Your fence contractor uses these marks for installation.
