In 2026, standard residential fences in Oshawa do not require a building permit if they comply with the Fence and Sight Triangle By-law. However, if you wish to exceed height limits, a Fence Exemption application is required, costing between $350 and $500.
According to the current Oshawa by-laws, fences in the front yard are limited to 0.9 metres (approx. 3 ft) to maintain sightlines. Fences in the rear and side yards can be up to 2.2 metres (approx. 7.2 ft) in height.
Contractors in the Durham Region typically charge between $3 and $5 per linear foot for the demolition and disposal of an existing fence. For a standard 100-foot lot, expect to pay $300 to $500 for this service.
Under Ontario's Line Fences Act, if a property owner desires a basic boundary fence, the cost is typically split 50/50. However, if one neighbor wants a premium material (like vinyl over chain link), they are usually responsible for the price difference.
