Depends if the fence line IS the property division line, in which case both homeowners have to agree about the trimming. If whatever needs trimming is solely on your property you are allowed to do whatever it is you need to do, providing any homeowner association (if they exist) has rules for this.

You generally have the right to trim branches that hang over your property line, as long as it doesn't harm the health of the tree. However, it's a good idea to check your local laws and regulations regarding tree trimming to ensure you are in compliance. Additionally, it's always a good idea to communicate with your neighbor before doing any trimming to maintain a positive relationship.

Can a neighbor put a fence up on your property?

If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.


Is it against the law for someone to look over my privacy fence and take pic of the things i have behind the fence?

In most places, it is not illegal for someone to look over your privacy fence. However, it may be considered an invasion of privacy if they are taking pictures of your property without your permission. You may want to consider talking to the person about your concerns or installing additional privacy measures.

If you are under 18, your parents have legal guardianship and can restrict your movements. However, if you feel unsafe or threatened, you can reach out to a trusted adult, such as a teacher or counselor, for help. If you are over 18, you have the legal right to leave your house without your parents' permission.

Can planting be placed right next to a neighbors fence?

If the plants are on your property they may be planted along your neighbors fence. However, climbing plants that will grow over the fence cannot be planted along your neighbors fence. Caveat: Make sure your neighbor has not installed the fence "inside" their property line so it lies a short distance FROM the property line. That is the practice in some areas and is required by the city ordinances in some areas. In that case, the land along the fence would belong to your neighbor. You need to determine where the property line is located and not assume the fence is on the property line.


A fence that was on the neighbors property line for over 40 years fell down and you replaced it now the neighbor is challenging us what can you do?

It sounds like you have a strong adverse possession/mutual acquiescence claim to the fence as the property line. You need to contact a real estate attorney immediately to preserve your right to keep the fence line as the property line. Also see the Related Questions below.

Do you have to remove your fence if it is five feet over the property line?

Maybe. Most states have a legal doctrine called adverse possession, which allows people to own property that they have used as their own but is not owned by them. The doctrine of (mutual) acquiescence applies specifically to fences, and states that a fence that has existed for x number of years constitutes the boundary line regardless of the actual, surveyed boundary line. You need to check with an attorney in your area for specifics on your state's laws.


Can a neighbor remove our wire fence to put up a new cedar privacy fence even though our fence has been there over thirty years and even if the survey says our fence is 8 inches into their property?

Absolutely not! The property line is where the fence is due to the legal doctrines of adverse possession and mutual acquiescence. You need to see a real estate attorney in your area ASAP to prevent the fence from being removed and to assert your rights. Even if the fence has been removed, you can likely still get justice. The link below will give you a basic understanding of adverse possession, which will be supplemented by the advise of your attorney.
