What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I moved in to my home in 2009. I have a large backyard that fenced (6 ft privacy). My neighbors who live directly next door also have their backyard fenced. The portion of fence that divides the 2 properties is their fence. The former owner of my home built 3 sides of fenced tying onto to my neighbors fence. I have lived here 3 years now and nothing has been said about the fence. He did tell me that he did give the former home owner permission to do that. Well now I have built a dog run inside my back yard (6ft chain link) My neighbor is pissed about this ( it does not tie onto to his fence)and now telling me I have to build my own privacy fence along side his because I'm using his property. I'm assuming his fence has been up for over 5 years as well as mine. He says his fence set 12" from property line...I do not know this for a fact. My question do I have to do this or can I set my own post in the 2 corners where my fence is tyed onto his and make sure they are not touching anymore? Thanks!
