💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
In Toronto, fences over 2 metres (approx. 6.5 ft) in height generally require a permit. Front yard fences are often restricted to 1.2 metres. 2026 permit fees reflect a 4.82% cost-of-living adjustment over previous years.
A professional land survey typically costs between $800 and $2,500. This is highly recommended in dense Toronto neighborhoods like The Beaches or High Park to prevent property line disputes with neighbors.
Basic pressure-treated wood fences range from $40 to $120 per linear foot, while premium Western Red Cedar can cost between $140 and $150 per linear foot installed in the GTA.
In older Toronto areas with narrow side-lots (e.g., Cabbagetown), labor costs can increase by 10-20% because materials must be moved by hand and heavy equipment access is restricted.
