International Boundary Commission

Sign at the [[international border]] between [[Calais, Maine]] in the [[United States]] and [[St. Stephen, New Brunswick]] in [[Canada]] (August 2019) The International Boundary Commission () is a bi-national organization responsible for surveying and mapping the Canada–United States border and regulating construction close to the border. The commission was created in 1908 and made permanent by a treaty in 1925.

Its responsibilities also include maintaining boundary monuments and buoys, keeping the border vista on each side clear of brush and vegetation within three meters (about 10 feet) from the boundary, overseeing any applications for permission to build within the vista, and reporting annually to the governments of both countries.
