Naples, FL asked in Land Use & Zoning and Real Estate Law for Florida

Q: My neighbor wants to build a 2nd inward facing fence(behind chainlink) on her property. Does this affect mne in any way?

My neighbor is asking me to sign a waiver so she can build a 2nd privacy wood fence facing inward on her property directly behind the joint chain link fence. Any advice on home value or anything I can't think of would be greatly appreciated!

A: No way to give a opinion or value change via this online forum.

Some communities and counties require that the smooth side of a fence face the niehhbor.

You may want to check to see if your area has fence codes.

Also I've see no reason for you to sign anything if the neighbor is erecting a fence within the boundary of their property other than the above.

Good luck.
