Fencing and driveway disputes are private civil matters and would be dealt with in the courts. The City of Hamilton has no jurisdiction pertaining to fences except that a privacy fence must maintain a maximum height of 2.0m (6.56 feet). The City has no jurisdiction pertaining to driveways, however, any single, two or three family dwelling, must have at least 50% of the gross area of the front yard used for a landscaped area.
