A permit is not required if the fence is under 1.2 metres (4 ft) in the front yard or 1.85 metres (6.1 ft) in the side and rear yards. If your fence exceeds these heights, a development permit is required at a cost of $195 CAD.
Due to Edmonton's severe freeze-thaw cycles, posts must be set at least 4 feet deep to reach below the local frost line and prevent shifting.
In 2026, chain link is the most affordable at $20–$45 per linear foot, while pressure-treated wood averages $27–$45 and premium vinyl or cedar ranges from $45–$65 per linear foot installed.
Contractors typically charge between $7 and $18 per linear foot for the removal and disposal of an existing fence, which includes labor and landfill tipping fees.
