Installing a fence

Installation work must be carefully planned out!

During this health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Town of Kirkland would like to remind you that it is possible to make an online permit request for a fence.

Simply use the Request Online System to submit your request. All required documents to be attached must be scanned as photos of the documents will not be accepted. For all other requests, residents must contact the Urban Planning Department by email at [email protected].

Before installing a fence on your property or replacing an existing one, it is mandatory to procure a certificate of authorization from the Urban Planning Department, at a cost of $50. The request must be accompanied by a copy of the property’s certificate of location, clearly indicating the planned location for the fence, as well as its height and material.

Knowing where to dig - for a safe installation

The ground where you plan to dig can hide electrical cables, telecommunication networks, gas lines and other underground utilities. To ensure your family‘s safety and the safety of others, it is crucial to know whether there are any buried installations near the site where you are planning to excavate.

Whether you are doing the work yourself or hiring a contractor to do it, it is very important to locate all underground facilities on your property BEFORE you start digging. Info-Excavation offers free subterranean infrastructure location services and can also give you advice. Queries can be made online at info-ex.com or by calling 1-800-663-9228.

Learn about applicable regulations

To make the right choice as to the type of fence to buy and where to install it, it is important to be aware of the applicable regulations. In Kirkland, Article 5.5 of Zoning By-Law no. 90-58 sets out these rules, especially the material that may be used for fences such as stone, wood, metal, PVC and aluminum. Article 10.9 of this By-law sets out the maximum allowable height to 1.85 metres (6.1 ft) as well as some restrictions that may apply to corner lots.
