If thats overpriced and as easy as you seem to think, why don't you do it yourself?
Just sayin'
($600 sounds okay to me, Ive heard of people paying twice that much or more in some cases)

I want to put up a fence and I believe we have to get a survey done to figure out where our property line is. What we got from our residential plan is a general area, but I've heard it could be off by a foot or two.
I called one place and I got a quote for $600+hst to get one line marked? Isn't that kind of ridiculously over priced?!
This is the first time I'm looking in to something like this, if anyone has any help in the right direction, that would be great!

all my posts are serious; internet is serious business
If you have the original survey of your house just look for the bars. Should have front bars, backs are rarely there. In most cases they are a foot or two off the back of the side walk. Or if you have ties off your house you can measure it yourself off your building corners.

I think that might be reasonable.

and no, you don't want to build a fence without being sure it's going up on your property, or on the line. As you may know there's a lot of fence related law, and typically you can get your neighbour to split the cost.

* It's about safety, stupid.
Is your neighbour ok with the fence? If not look at the local bylaw. There may be a set distance you have to place the fence on your property unless the neighbour is ok with the fence being on the property line. In my dads area fences have to be 6' over so its good to know in case buddy next door raises hell for whatever reason.

Nope, where he is its feet. Was 6 when the fence he has was built and is now 3 or something like that. And yes FEET. My dad cut down a tree on the otherside of the fenceline that he knew was his. Neighbour got ****** off and so started a short legal battle that the neighbour lost and has been trying to make my dad regret since.

Wow, that's insane. If there was such requirement in Toronto or suburbs like Richmond Hill, many townhouse owners would be building fences right along their back walls LOL.

I'm going to end up talking to my neighbour and seeing what we can come up with. He's sort of a ******.
I've read the Mississauga by-laws and it doesn't matter if he's ok with it or not, he's obligated to pay for half the fence! Only problem is, I have to make sure I put it on the property line if he is to pay for it.
He's built part of his deck awfully close to what I believe is the property line so he's never wanted a fence, but we need to make a fence because we want privacy now and to do some sexy landscaping in the back yard.
I don't want to pay the $600 so I'm going to be super polite and see if I can come to an agreement with him. I don't care if we have to lose a few inches of property space, but I don't want him to make a big deal out of it.
