No, a building permit is not required for standard residential fences that comply with height limits (1.0 metre in front yards and 2.0 metres in side/rear yards). However, pool enclosures and fences exceeding these heights require specific permits and may cost between $167 and $400 in fees.
Due to Saskatoon's extreme freeze-thaw cycles and a frost line that regularly reaches 4 feet, posts must be set at least 48 inches (4 feet) deep. Failure to do so typically results in 'frost heave,' where the clay soil pushes posts out of the ground within 2-3 seasons.
On corner lots, fences cannot exceed 1.0 metre (3.3 feet) in height within the 'corner visibility triangle,' which is a triangular zone measured 6.0 metres in each direction from the street corner of the property to ensure traffic safety.
Yes, contacting Sask 1st Call is mandatory and free of charge. You must request a locate at least 3 business days before digging. In Saskatoon, fence posts must maintain a minimum clearance of 0.6 metres from natural gas lines unless hand-digging, which reduces the requirement to 0.3 metres.
