💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Generally, no. Standard residential fences up to 2.2m (7.2ft) in rear/side yards and 0.9m (3ft) in front yards do not require a permit. However, pool enclosures always require a permit, which in 2026 costs approximately $250 to $400 CAD depending on complexity.
Posts must be set at least 4 feet (1.2m) deep to reach below the local frost line. This is a critical requirement in the Durham Region to prevent 'frost heaving,' which can displace posts during the winter freeze-thaw cycles.
For a standard 150-foot run of 6-foot pressure-treated wood, homeowners typically pay between $5,500 and $9,500 CAD. Premium cedar options for the same length can exceed $12,000 CAD.
Under Oshawa's Division Fence By-law, neighbors are typically required to share the cost of a 'basic' fence (often defined as chain link). If one neighbor desires a more expensive material like vinyl or composite, they are responsible for the cost difference above the basic standard.
