Fence Permit
PermitsHub handles your fence permit application, drawings, and approvals in Toronto and the GTA.
Scope of service.
In Toronto and many GTA municipalities, you need a fence permit before installing or replacing a fence over a certain height, typically 1.0 to 1.5 metres depending on location and zoning. The permit process ensures your fence complies with setback requirements, height restrictions, corner visibility triangles, and property line regulations. Fences built without permits can result in stop-work orders, fines, and mandatory removal. PermitsHub prepares accurate site plans showing your fence location, verifies zoning compliance for height and setback rules, and submits complete applications to your local building department. We handle communications with municipal staff and address any review comments, so you can move forward with your fence installation knowing all regulatory requirements are met.

Who needs this
