About the Fence Viewers
Fence Viewers are appointed by Council pursuant to the provisions of The Line Fences Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. L. 17, a Provincial law that provides a dispute resolution procedure between the owners of adjoining properties in most of Ontario. Line fences are fences that mark the boundary between properties and are often referred to as boundary or division fences. The Act does not deal with disputes about fences that are not on a boundary line.
Fence Viewers carry out the duties and responsibilities established under the Line Fences Act.
