Wwwwhat is the building code requirements for building a new fence?
when building a wood fence in the town of Brookhaven what side of the fence is supposed to face my neighbors property
If you install a wood fence on your property in Surprise Az away from the property line do you need to face the good side to your neighbors?
That type of issue is handled locally. You need to call your town offices and ask for the building department.
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.
I have a rental property. The trash can dent the fence which face my side. My neighbor fix the fence and send me the bill. Do I have to pay for it?
No. If the neighbor never talked to you prior to fixing the fence, quantum meruit does not apply.
If you erect a new fence owned by you do you have to face the good side to your neighbors?
Simply no you do not have any legal responsibilities regarding your new garden fence but make sure that it is actually in your garden you can check this by looking where the supporting posts are as they must be on your ground and if they face your neighbours garden you may need to move the fence in a little bit otherwise they could take it down if the posts are on their land so the answer is no as long as the supporting posts are on your own ground then you can look at the pretty side of your fence.
If your neighbor and you have a common fence face-interchanging sides separated by a 4 inch wood between the sides is it legal to put a 3 inch high net over your fence on this 4 inch wood?
Depends on who owns the fence, i.e. whose property it is on or who bought it in the first place. Often one person installs a fence (maybe 3 owners ago) then allows the neighbor to install wood on their side of the owners fence. This wood is the owners wood but people do it cause it is cheaper than installing a second fence on their own property. If you own the fence (its on your property) then you can do whatever you want including tear it down. If it is on their property they can tell you what you can or can't do. The best thing is to go to the neighbor and actually talk with them about what you'd like to do.
What direction must the post of a wooden fence face?

Should a fence face toward your yard or toward the neighbor yard?
rough side toward your yard, if you built it.
If a fence is put up on the property line is it mine as much as theirs?
If you know who put it up, no. It belongs to the person who built it or paid to have it built, and that person is responsible for its care and maintenance, and replacement if he so chooses. But, if nobody can remember who put it up or when (as in the case perhaps of a stone or masonry fence typical in the NE of the country where the ground is exceptionally rocky from glacial deposits), possibly both unless one or the other owner claims it or denies ownership, and most likely that will occur when it has to be repaired or replaced and then it may be a question of "how much" it sits on one or the other's property (especially in the case of a stone or masonry fence that is much wider than a typical wood fence although there are a few styles of wood fences that can be "more or less" on one side or the other). Otherwise, since most people are not willing to spend the extra money to erect a fence with "two" good sides, most current building codes require that when you erect a fence and there is only one good side, that the good side must face your neighbor, not your property. In the case of most "wood" or "stockade" fences, this means the visible fence posts must be on your side, not the neighbor's side. Therefore, if nobody knows who put it up and it is that kind of fence, whichever side is the "good" side would be the neighbor's and the other side would point to the fence "owner". But if you know who put it up, then it belongs to whoever put it up, even if the face of the fence technically sits over the property line even by inches or less. That's called an "encroachment" and why, to avoid having the neighbor demand it be moved, most fence companies will insist on having a survey of your property in order to plant your fence posts well enough inside your property line so that the face of it will still be on your side of the property line.
Why do some people want to build privacy fence around their property?
Some people are afraid of there things getting stolen and it often makes people feel more secure when a face surrounds there property and they usually have better concealed security systems
What are the first steps in painting a fence white?
The first step in painting a face white is to use a primer on the wood. Painting the fence will require several coats which should be applied evenly to ensure a good finish.
In a garden who owns which side to walls and fences?
If the walls or fence is within the property line of the owner, both sides are owned by the property owner. Depending on your city codes, in fla.... it has to be on the owners side of 6 inches. Some states... if it's placed over onto your side, they have to move it, or I believe it becomes yours. Finished side of fence has to face neighbor's yard.
