You need to call your county office and inquire there.
It depends on what city you live in or what county you live in. The city has different ordinances then the county. Living in the city of Elizabeth City, NC the fence can be put on the property line but the owners of the fence need to maintain the other side of their fence.
how far off the property line do you have to be for a house addition in susex county delaware

You first have to prove this fence is in fact, on your land and not your neighbors. You do this by obtaining the survey that is filed along with your deed. And then, if there is further questions, you might have to hire a survey company to re survey your property, physically mark the property lines and then give notice to your neighbor that his fence is on your property, justified by a copy of the survey and give him a time frame in which to remove this fence. Then, if it is not done, remove it and sue for the amount it took to remove it. You should read the contract you signed when you purchased the property. Many contracts for the purchase of land will state if an existing fences is the property line regardless of what a survey shows.
Those matters are governed locally. You need to inquire at your town offices.
You have to follow county zoning laws and each zoning may very. Call your town hall.
Well, there is no such thing as 'zero property line,' even if neither you nor your neighbor know exactly where it is. Your County Clerk (in the US; 'county' may also be called 'parish') can help you out there.
Is there a stand off distance along a property line between two single family homes for a fence to be installed, if one of the two homeowners does not care to have the fence installed and does not want to split the cost of having the fence installed? JR McCulloch (301) 903-6721
how far must a fence be from property line
That issue is handled locally. You need to call your town offices.
If your neighboring is putting up a jagged fence and the nice side is facing his property, he can do this if the fence lies on his property. The neighbor can put up the fence of his choice.
