What is a line fence?
A line fence, also known as a division fence, is any fence marking the boundary between an owner's property and a neighbouring property.
Neighbouring property owners may disagree about the need to build a fence, what type of fence to build, or whether an existing fence needs to be reconstructed.

If agreement cannot be reached, the City has an impartial arbitration process authorized by the provincial Line Fences Act to help resolve line fence disputes. The initial fee for the process is $1,110.
Regulations for the height, materials, and other issues are outlined in the Municipal Code.
