Mississauga fence by-law: heights and permits
Mississauga regulates fences under its Fence By-law (0397-1978). Back yard and side yard fences can be up to 2 m (6 ft 6 in). Front yard fences can be up to 1 m, or 1.5 m if they are open construction, which the City defines as at least one-third see-through. If your back yard meets a neighbour's front yard, a solid fence within 4.5 m of their driveway must be open construction so drivers can see. Barbed wire and other hazardous materials are not allowed on residential fences.
Most fences do not need a permit. If you need something outside the by-law, the City has a fence exemption application with a $361.20 fee (including HST), a property survey, site plan, fence details and photos.
Shared fences with neighbours in Mississauga
In Mississauga you must tell your neighbour before you build, repair or replace a division fence. The City does not set the cost split and does not get involved in disputes, but it provides a Division Fence Procedure, a Notice of Intent letter and a Notice of Completion letter, and refers owners to Ontario's Line Fences Act. A property survey helps confirm where the line is.
Pool fences in Mississauga
Mississauga's Swimming Pool Enclosure By-law (0191-2011) requires an enclosure around pools, and the enclosure must be permitted and inspected by the City. Owners must keep the enclosure in good repair after it passes. We build enclosures and gates to the by-law and can work around your pool installer's schedule.
How we install your fence
- Site visit and measurements. We walk the property line, check grade, trees and access, and confirm the Mississauga height rules for your lot.
- Written quote. Every line, gate and removal item is listed, so you and your neighbours see the same numbers.
- Utility locates. We arrange free locates through Ontario One Call before any digging. This can take one to two weeks.
- Installation. Posts are set in concrete below the frost line, then rails, boards and gates. Most fences take one to three days.
- Clean-up and walkthrough. We remove debris and old fence material and check every gate with you.
