Make sure to handle your neighbors well during fence installation.
When it comes to fence installation, the last thing you want to do is rub your neighbors the wrong way. While fence installation is an exciting time, it is important to remember to be considerate of any neighbors you have whose property abuts yours, as it is not uncommon for fence installation to stir up border disputes. If you follow these steps regarding your fence installation, you’ll be sure to avoid any unnecessary drama.
Make Sure To Officially Determine Your Property Line
While border disputes between neighbors can get ugly and feel very complicated, there is actually a simple way to solve them. If you hire a professional to determine where your property lines are prior to fence installation, there will be no legal grounds for them to dispute your fence installation. Once you know your borders, build a fence two feet inside your property perimeter to avoid any problems with your neighbors.
Let Your Neighbors Know About Your Fence Installation Plans Ahead Of Time
Even though fence installation on your property is ultimately your decision, letting your neighbors know ahead of time is a respectful gesture. This will make them feel involved and more likely to accept the changes, and also means they will not be surprised when the fence installation begins and strangers are near their property working on it.
Be Aware Of Your Local Zoning Laws
Wouldn’t it be terrible to sink time, money, and effort into fence installation only to find out that your fence does not meet the local procedures correctly and has to be taken down? Make sure that your fence installation goals follow any local stipulations, as well as any rules your Homeowner’s Association may have about the colors and appearance of residential fences. This will help keep your neighbors happy.
