Maintaining Distance from the Property Line This helps prevent disputes and allows for maintenance on both sides of the fence without encroaching on the neighbor's land. A common practice is to build the fence 2-8 inches away from the property line, depending on local regulations and personal preferences.
If you want the fence to be right on the property line, you don't legally have to ask permission. If you're building your fence entirely on your property, 6+ inches from the property line, you definitely don't need permission from your neighbor.
Hire a licensed land surveyor The most accurate way to know where your land begins and ends is to hire a surveyor to determine your property lines. The property surveyor will first check county records to understand the history of the lot.
If you want the fence to be right on the property line, you don't legally have to ask permission. If you're building your fence entirely on your property, 6+ inches from the property line, you definitely don't need permission from your neighbor.
When boundary disputes between neighbors cannot be resolved through direct communication, mediation and legal recourse become necessary steps. Mediation: involves enlisting a neutral third-party mediator to facilitate a resolution. Legal Recourse: If mediation fails, the next step is legal action.
You don't need a permit to build a fence. You don't need to call bylaw.
