Do I have to be okay with a bad neighbor & peeing cats?

I purchased my home in June ’06. I immediately had a land survey done. The survey showed the neighbor was 5ft ON my property. I wanted my 5 feet wide x 50ft long. I took the survey over to my neighbor to show him, immediately he was angry with me. How dare me!!? Anyways..he moved his fence, installed a new one. Since then I have caught him %26amp; his wife watching my daughter %26amp; I play or just being outside. I finally was able to catch the neighbor on film looking over my fence watching from a step ladder. Now as of two days ago he added lattice %26amp; bamboo. 3 feet additional height to the 6 ft fence. Now a 9ft high fence. I searched online and he has no current permit. Also his cats (4) have pissed all over my vehicles %26amp; garden beds. I want them away and I want his 9ft fence lowered so he can't hide and watch us! What can I do? BTW, my neighbor is a retired Army Master Sargeant, no one tells him anything! I am in the state of Maryland if that helps. AA county.

Call your local alderman or city clerk and ask them about the fencing question. One of them will make him do it to code.





If you suspect him being on the other side of the fence, put your sprinkler in that area and let it soak everything. Or use the hose to clean 'your' side of the fence. Hopefully he'll get a face full.
Reply:Do you have a dog? If not borrow one. I would take the dog for a walk, right past his front yard, and let the dog crap in his yard or driveway.





Do you have binoculars? Next time you catch him peeking over the fence, have those suckers handy so you can look at him through them (I don't care if you are just a few feet away). We had a nosy neighbor doing that once and that stopped it really quick.





He sounds obnoxious, btw, just because he is a sargeant doesn't mean he is more than a bag of hot air. You aren't under him so he can't tell you what to do.





Good luck!
