Hi all,

I am sure I am posting in the wrong place, but you gotta start
somewhere. Is there a city ordinance about fences? Do you put it right
on your property line? I built and paid for the fence, does your
neighbor have any rights to the fence, ie: leaning things against it,
spraying your plants with weed killer through the fence, other things
too numerous to mention. The fence is just the tip of the iceburg with
the problems with the neighbor. I am sure I will get the advice to
move...believe me it has crossed my mind.


thanks...happy gardening

Fences are often controlled in some fashion by cities. Usually starting
with a building permit ( as in cedar Park where I live) and may include
height, materials, and setback restrictions. You may find much of what
you want to know on your city's website.

Hopefully you had surveyor guidance as to where the property line is
exactly. The original owner's of my house built over the line in a
couple of places.

All I've said is merely to whet your appetite for asking the correct
sources for this type info.....your city and/or an attorney with
experience in this area. Fortunately for me, all my fence/property line
experience comes from watching Judge Judy ;-)
