A permit is only required if the fence exceeds height limits: 1.2m (4ft) in front yards or 1.85m (6.1ft) in rear/side yards. If required, the 2026 Development Permit fee is $195.
Chain link remains the most affordable at $25–$35 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated wood is the next budget option, typically ranging from $50–$65 per linear foot.
For a standard 150-linear-foot residential project using pressure-treated wood, homeowners should budget between $7,500 and $9,750 including professional installation.
While possible using specialized ground-thawing equipment, winter installations typically carry a 15-25% labor premium due to the difficulty of digging in frozen soil.
Under the Alberta Line Fence Act, if a fence is built on the property line, costs are typically shared. However, if a neighbor refuses, you may need to build it entirely on your side of the property line to avoid legal disputes.
