Okay, so this may be petty, but here goes:

Me and my fiancé just bought a house (not in an historic district) and our neighbor is an asshole. Y I k e s.

She approached us in the middle of moving in and lectured us randomly about respect, which apparently means her doing whatever the fuck she wants.

She’s called the spca on another neighbor’s small dog. Bad enough. But today, because we moved in and “took the spot where they park their trailer” (ie right in front of /our/ house), she’s called code enforcement for some cars on our block that need work (pissing off no fewer than three neighbors).

We have a shared front wrought iron fence, and she’s putting up a ten foot spite fence all the way to the shared fence where there used to be an open area—without talking to us, and with dubious measurements that make it hard to access our back yard.

To the question: do folks need a permit to put up a fence outside of historic districts?

How would y’all handle this?
