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.
Under this statute, a landowner who enters his or her neighbor's land could be liable for trespass. Ohio Revised Code § 971.17 requires a property owner to give written notice to his or her neighbor at least 28 days in advance of removing a shared line fence.
If my entire property is fenced, does the pool need a separate fence? Swimming pools do not necessarily need a barrier close to the water. If your pool is located in a fenced backyard, or other large fenced area, and that fence meets the legal requirements, you might not need an additional barrier closer to the pool.
Most local codes require 6-foot perimeter fencing in the work zone prior to construction, demolition or excavation, although specific rules and regulations vary by city and state. Construction equipment, materials, office trailers and dumpsters may only be stored within the fenced area.
The owner who removes the fence must establish the removal by filing an affidavit and must notify the adjoining landowner prior to the removal.
