💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
No permit is required if the fence is under 1.85m (6.1ft) in the rear/side yard or 1.2m (4ft) in the front. If your design exceeds these heights, a Development Permit fee of approximately $195 is required in 2026.
Due to Edmonton's deep frost line and freeze-thaw cycles, posts must be set at least 4 feet (1.2m) deep with concrete footings to prevent shifting and heaving.
Chain link remains the most budget-friendly option, costing between $20 and $45 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated wood is the next most affordable at $45 to $65 per linear foot.
Contractors typically charge between $7 and $18 per linear foot for the labor of tearing down an old fence and the associated disposal fees at local waste management facilities.
