What is the name of your state?Minnesota
Along one side of my property runs a two-tiered cement wall. The neighbor owns the property up to the edge of the top tier. I am determined to erect a fence to give us some privacy and prevent the neighbor looking down onto our property. However, obviously, we are unable to erect the fence at the top of the second tier. I am looking at erecting an 11 or 10' fence on the first tier; this would mean it would extend 5-6' above ground on the second tier. City law stipulates fence height must be no more than 6'. So can 'fence height' be taken to mean the distance from the ground to the top of the fence on the second tier? Or must it be interpreted as the full height of the fence?
