We have neighbors that we got along fine with until we got a new dog. They constantly kick the fence and tease our dogs. The dogs have been trained to not react and know that that part of the yard is off limits. It frustrates them that they get no response from the dogs.
They call us in for every little issue. Since September of 23 we have had multiple visits from the police with every complaint ending without a citation.
They scare our children and they can no longer be in the yard without us.
They run their mouths about how horrible we are and how we abuse them and terrorize them with our dogs. We have a temporary fence to protect our dogs from them.
I’ve offered to put a privacy fence but they’ll only agree if I move the property line 6ft inside my line.
We put up security cameras and they are currently trying to get them forcibly removed.
We are at our wits end and can’t seem to find any legal protections to help.
**UPDATE**
I got a ruling this morning that I get to put my fence up. Also, there is an investigation opened into the harassment complaints. The PD is going through our camera footage as of this update. We finally have a win.
They can’t force us without proof that we are invading their privacy. We have over a dozen cameras around our entire property. Their argument to the local authorities is that we are using them to spy. So far I have allowed the police to view the system and they are on our side. Their next threat is to get lawyers involved, to which I have a statement and report from the police saying we’re fine. It’s miserable people, pissed because we won’t move so they can buy the house and control who live next to them.
They have one on retainer due to constantly being sued or suing of contract customers. I’m not overly worried that they will get us to that level, just annoyed by the trouble they’ve caused.
We just put a system in. Hardwired and constantly running.
We planted ornamental grass that grows up to 8 feet. He sprayed them with vegetation killer and turned us in for not taking care of the dead plants.
He’s pissed because we won’t move.
We were working on that. I added an update above.

Our city code says I have to have their approval or due to a gas line I would have to move it 6 feet into my yard. We’re trying but he’s a contractor and has friends in the city permitting department. He’s also chased off most contractors from working with us. I can do it myself but I need the permits.
