Built to King Township's By-law 2012-132

0.92 m solid, 1.22 m open at the front. Choose the style and the height follows.

King City's Front-Yard Rule Depends on What the Fence Is Made Of
Most towns set one front-yard height. King Township sets two: 0.92 metres for a solid fence, and 1.22 metres for an open one, such as picket or chain link, that you can see through. Side and rear yards go to 1.83 metres.
On estate and rural lots the picture changes again, with open-style front fences allowed to 1.83 metres. We check which zone your property is in and build to that, with posts set in concrete below the frost line.
