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 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.

How high is a typical backyard fence?
4 to 6 feet with locks on the gate. Our fence is 6 foot and we immediately increased our home owners/liability insurance. We have lots of neighbors with children who would gladly swim in our pool when we are NOT EVEN HOME!!!! The parents do not watch them carefully enough. If you use an metal fence, make sure you have the spaces between each bar small enough to keep small pets out. Keep these thoughts in mind. Hopes this helps! The law in most states is 4 feet high but some like Florida and California are going to 5 feet high. The gate must be self-closing and self-latching. The gate also needs to open out away from the pool. Where you grab the latch to open the gate needs to be above 54 inches (60 inches in some areas). There can be no gap anywhere in the fence that a 4 inch sphere can pass through. See the links below for a pamphlet called "Blueprint for Pool Gate Safety".
