Fences
The Fences Bylaw (PDF) outlines restrictions on the height of fences and requirements of fencing around certain back yard pools.
Property fences
The basic fence requirements are listed below:
- There is no regulation that affects which way the "good" side of the fence faces. The homeowner makes that determination
- The homeowner should determine the property line by reviewing their property survey
- If there is a dispute or if the exact property line cannot be determined, an Ontario Land Surveyor should be consulted. If an owner wishes to construct a fence on the property line between two properties, they should discuss the fence proposal with their neighbours. See information about the Line Fences Act
