Fences

Building a fence

You're only required to have a building permit for a fence if it's for a private swimming pool. Fences on private property don't require a building permit, otherwise.

If your property is a corner lot, however, please make sure to contact the building department by e-mail or at 519-396-3468 ext. 2 before you start construction to make sure you're not building within the sight triangle.
