Building in Newmarket

Side and rear yards have different limits

Newmarket is one of the few towns where the side yard fence limit (1.8 m) is lower than the rear yard limit (2 m). Where a fence turns the corner from the backyard into the side yard, we plan the change in height so it looks intentional.

Privacy screens have their own rules in Newmarket, and screens attached to decks have a lower limit. We check both when designing a deck with a screen.

Newmarket deck and fence questions

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Newmarket?
Not for a typical fence. It still has to meet the height limits and stay out of daylighting triangles. Pool enclosures need a permit.
Can I put a privacy screen on my deck in Newmarket?
Yes, within the Town's limits. Privacy screens attached to decks are capped lower than freestanding screens, so we design to the right one.
