Fence By-law

The Township Fence By-law 2012-132  provides clear regulatory framework for fencing in our community, including  requirements to fence all swimming pools, general maintenance criteria, types of fences permitted and prohibited, height and setback provisions. Residents are encouraged to consult the Fence By-law prior to building a fence, privacy screen, installing a pool, and prior to planting hedges within a front yard, on their property to ensure the minimum requirements of this By-law have been established.

Inquires pertaining to fence regulations should be directed to By-law Enforcement Services. You may contact By-law Enforcement Services at your Municipal Office, by calling 905-833-5321, or by email at bylaw@king.ca.
