Do I have to notify my neighbor before I take my fence down?
The following are some situations you should consider before removig the fence. If you need to enter their property in order to remove the fence you should notify them when you will be doing the removal. If there is some deed restriction, agreement or condition that requires you to maintain a fence then you will need to obey those terms. If your fence forms part of the fenced in area that encloses dogs or other animals on your neighbor's property it would be prudent for you to give your neighbor adequate notice of the removal so they can make other arrangements to contain and protect their animals. If it forms part of the required fenced in area that provides a child-barrier to your neighbors swimming pool you should provide notice so they may make other arrangements to child-proof the pool. If removing the fence will cause damage to your neighbor's property then you must take the necessary steps to avoid that damage and repair any damage that is done. Otherwise, if it is your fence on your property then you should be within your rights to remove it.
What can you do when your neighbor reached over the fence and cut your tree down?

What if your neigbor cut down a fence on both are property lines you have a pool can you make him pay for part of the replacement fence?
That depends on who owns the fence. If it belongs to the neighbor then he can take it down. He should have warned you so you could plan to replace it if you were using it to fence in your pool.

Can neighbor use fence 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.
If you have a fence between property which divide the two properties line and both of you have livestock can he take down the fence?
No, the neighbor cannot unilaterally remove the fence dividing the properties without your consent. Proper procedures and legal requirements need to be followed when making changes to the property boundaries, especially when it involves livestock containment and safety. It's best to discuss any concerns or potential solutions with your neighbor to come to a mutual agreement.

Are you allowed to attach a piece of wood to your fence on your neighbors side?
Generally no unless the piece will still remain within your property line, and even so a protruding piece of wood could be a hazard that you could be liable for. If it's a matter of the fence no longer being stable, you are responsible for your fence and if you can't stabilize it from your side of the property, you have a choice to ask your neighbor if it would be ok to stabilize it from their side, or to have it fixed so it doesn't need support, or take it down. One of the best ways of getting it fixed without paying 100% is if your neighbor likes having a fence you can say you'll have to take it down...unless they're willing to assist you --- but beware winding owning the fence with your neighbor -- the whole point of a fence is usually to keep you and your neighbor at a "friendly" distance.
