It is your fence as you were the one that bought and installed it so I would think you could uninstall it also. I would talk to my neighbor and see how or what he thinks about it as he is the one you need to get along with. Now I am not no Philadelphia lawyer:rolleyes: but if both parties are satisfied it don't matter.:twocents
Jimmy, everywhere I have lived if you put up a fence without a written agreement with the neighbor it is the responsibility of installer to maintain said fence. Usually that fence will be installed inside his property line. Also it is ok in most cases for neighbors to tie into that fence to finish out a fence around their property.
You can remove it if......it is 6 inches inside ( of your side ) of property line. But you cannot connect anything to his fence without his permission if his fence is on his side of property line. If a fence is exactly on the property line then you both own it regardless of who paid for it and permission will be required to do anything with it and permission better be in writeing. Been there and done this.
Check your city ordinances. Some municipalities will not allow a fence to be built right on the property line.
Just another reason city living ain't for me!
what difference does it make just spray round up in between the wooden fence and the chain link cause you must have wanted chain link or you would have built a wooden one to begin with
You got to be careful out there too lot of court cases involving property lines and farm fences.Quote:

The neighbor built the fence and unless there's city or subdivision regulations that require it to be fixed if it's tears up, neither is responsible for it though.
If the wind knocks it down, unless he wants to, he can leave it down if there's no regulations
BTW, IF you live in a City, Get ahold to the Code enforcement officer, he can help you for the specifics
Boy I'm glad I live in the boonies and don't have to worry about stuff like this or neighbors.
You got that right, the two things that can get country folks stirred up the most are property lines and water bills.Quote:

I was asking for a friend that bought a place, wants to remove the chain link fence because the neighbor placed a wood fence next to it. Hedge and other plants are between the 2 fences. Wants to clean up the place some better.
But after seeing the neighbor it might be best to cut the brush back, poison it and deal with the dead wood in between the 2 fences.
Horn Lake became a Tree City a few years back. Requires a permit to down a tree over 5. In 15 years I haven't found anyone to tell me what 5 is. But, there are other codes that go unchecked daily.
Water bill? Why do I pay a $5 sewer fee when I have a waste treatment plant?Quote:

Ridgeland Mississippi is the same way. When we design subdivisions there, we have to go around the drip line of the trees and get the total canopy coverage.
First thing you really need to do is get the property line marked. In subdivisions, there may be another rear corner (for another lot behind it) that's only a couple feet from the real corner.
Once you get the 2 corners of that side of the lot, you can get a long piece of string and hold it above each corner, then pull tight to see just where the actual property line is.
My water bill was $140 this past month. Mainly due to getting hit up twice for sewer. Flowood hits me to carry the sewer, then Jackson treats it. Have to pay both
Should be fairly simple, undo the fence from cross bars and lay it down. Clean out then put fencing back up. No need to remove posts or cross bars.
A little more work than that, fence is on other side of post. I sent them an email about it.
Holy **** either tear the chain link down or leave it up and spray round up its that simple
