Sheesh! How about a handshake!
A common fence is a shared boundary structure between two neighboring properties. It is typically built and maintained by both property owners to provide mutual benefit and to mark the separation of their land.
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.
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.
The neighbor is responsible for the careful use of lawn tools like a weedeater. What if it were a child's hand? Would the question make any sense? Ask the neighbor to pay up or sue him in small claims court for medical expenses and veterinary expenses for the dog.

When drafting a fence agreement between neighbors, key considerations include clearly defining property boundaries, outlining responsibilities for maintenance and repair, addressing cost-sharing arrangements, obtaining necessary permits, and ensuring mutual agreement on the design and materials used. It is important to communicate openly, seek legal advice if needed, and document the agreement in writing to avoid disputes in the future.
My neighbor would like to remove the fence that we share in our backyard. Is he allowed to remove the neighboring fence without my approval?
Ask your neighbors if they care.
As long as the fence is on your property, no.
Common reasons for a gap between neighbors' fences include property line discrepancies, uneven terrain, differing fence installation methods, and lack of communication between neighbors.
The saying implies that with a fence between neighbors you can each maintain your privacy. When people become complacent about their neighbors privacy or wishes then ill feelings can occur. If your neighbor has the run of your yard there is always the chance that they might do something against your wishes. This does not imply that they are going to irritate you on purpose but there is the chance. A fence between the properties will eliminate the chance that they may trespass into something that you do not want to share. This is also not just about a physical fence. It also means that your neighbors should not have free run of the knowledge of your lives and what goes on in your household. There has to be boundries in all relationships which would constitute a fence. In regard to the actual fence it should be low enough to allow communication between the neighbors while keeping some things out. The same applies to the personal fence. Do not build a stone wall between each other that allows for no communication.
Yes, if they own the fence.
My parents went through this a few years ago. Nobody does. It's usually the party who wants the fence repaired/replaced. My parents were fine with the old fence and told our neighbors "No" they will not help with the cost. Neighbors could do nothing about it. They replaced the fence anyways.

generally speaking, yes if it's on the separating line between you and your neighbors, definitely yes
