Fences and Livestock Valuer

 

Fences

Thames Centre has a Division Fence Cost Apportionment By-law.  This by-law allows for boundary fence disputes to be handled between landowners as a civil matter, without utilizing municipal resources, therefore eliminating the need to maintain Fence Viewer Appointments.
