About Greater Victoria Fencing

An independent guide to the fence rules of all thirteen Greater Victoria municipalities, read from the bylaws themselves, so a homeowner knows what is legal on their own lot before anyone quotes them.

What this site is not

It is not a fence company, it is not a directory, and it is not affiliated with any government programme, utility or municipality. Nothing here is paid placement: what the pages say does not change based on who pays us.

How it is paid

We tell you what your own municipality actually allows before anyone quotes you, so you can tell whether a quote is for a legal fence. It costs you nothing and we never sell your details.

How the numbers get here

Every figure on this site is a recorded fact with a source, a jurisdiction and the date a person last checked it — 173 of them right now, drawn from 45 sources, across 22 pages about fencing in Greater Victoria, BC. A figure whose check is overdue is withheld rather than shown, and the kinds of figure where being wrong costs money stop the site from publishing at all until someone re-verifies them. How that works · every source.
