Verified-rule tool

Check the fence location before you copy a height.

Pick the city and the part of the lot. A number appears only where the current research set contains a clear local height rule; otherwise the tool sends you to the official source.

Planning aid only. Zoning, retaining walls, grade, sight triangles, easements and pool-enclosure rules can change the answer.

Choose a city and yard location.

Why some cities do not return a number

Fence rules are not safely reducible to one Canada-wide table. Some municipalities publish a clear front/side/rear chart; others tie height to zoning, setbacks, retaining walls or corner visibility. This checker deliberately refuses to manufacture a number where the source is not simple enough.
