Property Owner Responsibilities

Property owners have some very basic responsibilities concerning the upkeep of their property to maintain the value of their property and consideration to the community. Additionally, most cities outline various bylaws that hold home and property owners legally responsible for such things as:

  • Boulevard Maintenance & Construction
  • Fences & Signs
  • Structural Capacity (fire and storm damage)
  • Sewer Pipe Management
  • Care of Vegetation
  • Abandoned Vehicle & Rubbish Removal
  • Sightline Obstructions
  • Tree Management
  • Sidewalk Hazards
  • Noise Bylaws
  • Unsightly/Untidy Premises

Know your Responsibilities!

If someone is injured on your property because you failed to adhere to the standards outlined by your region, you may be held accountable for damages caused by your negligence.

Know your Rights!
