Fences must be installed on your private property, unless you have a mutual agreement with your neighbouring property owner(s) to build on the shared property line. Additionally, there are regulations governing fence height and placement, especially near streets, to prevent visibility issues that could pose a safety risk to vehicles and pedestrians.
In most areas, fences on residential and commercially zoned properties are limited to a maximum height of 2 meters (6 feet 6 inches). However, in front yards and corner lots, the height is often restricted further to ensure clear visibility for drivers and pedestrians.
The requirements for a pool enclosure fence vary by city, but here are some common guidelines:
We will let you know what specifics apply to your city when we discuss your fence project.
For a standard 122 cm (4 feet) high chain link fence, the cost is usually split equally (50/50) between neighbouring property owners. However, for other types of fences, cost-sharing arrangements are left to the property owners' discretion. If a mutually agreeable solution can't be reached, it may be necessary to seek legal resolution, as the City doesn't intervene in cost-sharing disputes.
Yes, the City has a fence cost-share program for homeowners whose property borders City parklands, district yards, or recreation areas. The City will pay half the cost of a standard 122 cm (4 feet) high chain link fence, either at the City's request or the property owner's request. However, if the property owner wants a higher or more expensive fence, they must cover the additional cost. Similarly, if the City requires a higher or more expensive fence, the City will pay the extra cost. Maintenance costs for the standard chain link fence are also shared 50/50 between the City and the property owner. Still, the property owner assumes full maintenance responsibility if a different type of fence is installed.
No, you don't need a Building Permit to install a fence. However, if you're installing a swimming pool, you will need a permit for the pool itself, which includes the required pool enclosure (fence). The permit is for the pool, not the fence.
