Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc
Fence-Viewer
In accordance with the Line Fences Act the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc is seeking applications for the appointment of Municipal Fence-Viewers.
The Act applies in two situations where the owners are unable to reach agreement:
- Where no fence currently exists at the boundary between the two properties, and one owner wants a new fence to be constructed to mark the boundary.
- Where a line fence already exists, and one owner believes it needs to be reconstructed or repaired.
A fence-viewer is appointed by the municipality and is someone with a broad knowledge of the community.
Fence-viewers are authorized to address the following issues:
- The apportionment of responsibility of the fencing work between the two adjoining owners; and
- The description of the fence that is to be constructed or reconstructed on the boundary one, including materials to be used.
After the viewing, the fence-viewers issue an award to allocate the costs of the proceeding between the two owners.
