Yes, most Montreal boroughs require a permit. For residential properties, the minimum fee is $167.40. If the project value exceeds $17,000, the cost is calculated at $9.80 per $1,000 of work.
Due to Quebec's frost line, posts should be buried at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) deep. For maximum stability in Montreal's clay-heavy soil, contractors often recommend 4.5 to 5 feet.
Standard bylaws limit front yard fences to 0.9 meters (approx. 3 feet) and backyard or side fences to 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet). Corner lots may have stricter visibility triangle requirements.
Quebec's 2026 safety regulations require pool fences to be at least 1.2 meters high and non-climbable. A compliant ornamental aluminum fence typically costs between $55 and $85 per linear foot installed.
Contractors typically charge between $8 and $15 per linear foot for demolition and disposal, depending on the material (e.g., concrete-set posts vs. simple wood panels).
