Retaining wall structures serve the purpose of restraining sloped earth in place. Retaining walls receive a horizontal weight pressure that requires them to be built to adequate construction standards.

Building permits are required for retaining walls when they are attached to a building, the wall is over 600mm (24"), when the wall is close to a building or property line, or if the wall is over 1.2m (48") anywhere else on the property.  Municipalities may require permits for retaining walls any time it is required under the planning and development act.
