Line Fences Act appeals division dissolved; notice address rule updated
APPEALS — under the Line Fences Act
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
The formal 'appeals division' covering all Ontario lands has been revoked — it no longer exists as a named body under the regulation. The rule about where to send notices to the referee has been updated: notices should now be addressed as directed on the website of the ministry of the responsible Minister, rather than the Ministry or Government of Ontario website generally. Property owners or neighbours involved in a line fence dispute who need to file a notice of appeal should check the current ministry website for the correct service address. The fee rules for initiating an appeal remain unchanged.
Who this affects: property owners in line fence disputes · rural landowners · municipal clerks handling fence appeals
