FENCES AND ADD ONS.
You need to protect your
investment by making sure you are building on your own property. A mislocated
fence, driveway or carport can cause legal problems and inflate your
construction costs. Before you build, be sure to have a licensed surveyor
determine your property boundaries, replacing missing stakes if necessary.
Having a surveyor mark the location of your building on site BEFORE
construction begins will ensure that you meet setback requirements and
other restrictions enforced by the municipality in their zoning By-Laws.
Failure to comply with these By-Laws may result in the loss of a future
sale if the purchasers have an up-to-date survey done. Mortgage lenders
generally do not advance money until By-Law infringements are cleared
up.
