Code enforcement includes:
Numbering of Commercial & Residential Buildings
All commercial and residential buildings established within the Township shall be subject to being numbered for proper identification, especially for reasons of expediency in fire, police and medical emergencies.
Accessory Structures
If you are planning to add a storage building, shed or other accessory structure (e.g., a swimming pool) including a membrane structure a zoning permit is required. Additionally, fencing requires a zoning permit. If what you are planning to add either permanently or temporarily is located on the ground a zoning permit is required and perhaps a building permit.
When planning, be sure to keep clear of water supply, gas lines and septic systems.
Setback Requirements for Accessory Buildings/Structures

|---|---|---|
| Less than 100 SF | 10 ft. | 10 ft. |
| 100 to 500 SF | 15 ft | 15 ft |
| 501 to 1000 SF | 25 ft | 25 ft |

Garage Sales
Are Permits required to hold a garage sale?
Fredon Township does not require a permit to have a garage sale, but there are some regulations that must be followed
Are signs advertising a garage sale permitted?
Yes, but each year this office receives complaints about signs that are not removed following “garage sales.” Signs remaining in various locations around town are not only unsightly but also a violation of the sign ordinance. All signs must be removed immediately following the sale.
Is an ongoing garage sale permitted?
Another problem that arose this past year was the “garage sale” that continued over several consecutive weekends. Garage sales are not permitted to operate in the same location on a weekly basis and to do so would require a variance for a business use and a site plan because it is considered a business.
Overnight Parking
Pursuant to Chapter 515 – 3, no person shall park any vehicle overnight on any street or road in the Township, between the hours of 2:00 A. M. and 6:00 A. M. Any person violating this provision shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine in accord with Chapter 515-6.Accordion content
Snow Removal / Restricted Parking
Snow Removal
Fredon Township Ordinances state that “no snow that accumulates within private property is to be thrown, placed, or deposited upon the sidewalks, streets, or public roads of the Township”. Additionally, please make sure that any private contractor plowing your driveway complies with this ordinance, as it is the property owners’ responsibility. Snow plowed, shoveled, or blown onto the roadway often creates an unexpected hazard for drivers. Noncompliance with this ordinance may result in a notice of violation and fines beginning at $100.00.
Restricted Parking
To facilitate snow removal, no person shall park any vehicle at any time on any public street in the Township during the period commencing November 1 of each year and continuing through and including April 15 of the following year.
