Hedges

Planting a hedge 

Planting a hedge does not require a certificate of authorization from the Urban Planning Department. You must nevertheless ensure compliance with the applicable regulations.

Applicable regulations

Before planting hedges on your property, it is important to understand the local regulations that apply. Planting hedges must follow specific rules outlined in the municipal By-Law:

Zoning By-Law No. 90-58: Chapter 5.2, 5.3, 10.7 and 10.9

Location and Height Requirements

  • Hedges are permitted in the front, side and rear setbacks.
  • The area to remain free of hedges is the greater of:
    • The first 60 cm (2.0 ft) measured from the front property line or
    • 2.5 m measured from the curb or, where applicable, the edge of the sidewalk.
  • In the front minimum setback, maximum height of hedges is 1.25 metre (4.1’)
  • In the case of a corner lot:
    • Hedges may have a maximum height of 1.85 metre (6.0’) within the portion of the minimum front setback that extends from the rear setback.
    • Within the visibility triangle, the maximum permitted hedge height is 90 centimetre (3.0’).
  • Elsewhere on the lot there is no maximum height for hedges.
