Is the front property line located adjacent to the sidewalk?
In most cases, the front property line is not located adjacent to the sidewalk. Often a city boulevard exists between the sidewalk and the property line. The width of this boulevard may vary from one street to the next and can be verified by contacting the City’s Municipal Engineering Branch (975-2454). Does the front of a house always face the front property line? Not necessarily, the narrowest width of the lot is generally considered the front of the property. If you are unsure as to the location of your front yard, contact the Planning and Development Branch. How are property lines determined? A Surveyor’s Certificate or a Real Property Report prepared by a Saskatchewan Land Surveyor can be used to accurately locate property site lines. It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure the accurate location of fencing relative to their property site lines.
