Planting a hedge on your property requires neither a permit nor a certificate of authorization from the municipality. You must nevertheless ensure that you comply with the applicable provisions of the planning regulations in this respect, particularly regarding the allowable maximum height of a hedge planted on one’s property and its maintenance.
Learn about the applicable regulations
In Kirkland, the Zoning By-law no. 90-58 sets out the rules applicable in this respect, particularly Article 5.3 which requires a visibility triangle to be kept free of any plants and Article 10.9 which determines the maximum allowable height for a hedge depending on its location.
Mandatory Maintenance
For safety reasons and in order not to affect visibility in the area, it is the responsibility of the owner, in accordance with Article 5.5d), to ensure that all hedges on his property are maintained regularly so that they never exceed the allowable height.
