The entire concept of HOA's boggles my mind. Imagine owning property and some random person from down the block comes by one day and tell you that "you can't have those types of window blinds in your house, they are to colorful and not made from the pre approved materials." Like what kind of obsessive control freak actually made this a thing?
@@grittykitty50 that thought actually scares me. Where do the fees go? How much are they? And what does the hoa do for the community to deserve payment?
HOAs are totally Un-American! You bought the property and house, you should have a right to do whatever you want with it (within reason of county/city ordinances)!
It's actually generally to improve visibility on the adjacent road. If your fence is too tall, people on the road can't see you pulling out of your driveway until you're already in the street, and vice versa. There are a lot of dumb rules around fences, but restricting the height of a front yard fence is one of the only ones that makes sense.
I am green visibility pulling out of the driveway is important. That’s why it should be limited on how close to the road you can have the fence. Not how high the fence is around the entire front yard. If you had a large front yard that wouldn’t be right.
@@sharpy3453 If you have a really deep front yard, you can apply for an exception from the local board. In a lot of places, what is the "front yard" is defined by how far from the road it is, so you'd automatically be able to make the fence taller deeper into your yard. For most people living in an area with these kinds of restrictions though, their front yard is only a couple of meters deep, so restricting the height for the whole front yard accomplishes the goal.
Demi Spendlove most towns limit how tall fences can be in the front yard. (Some even ban front yard fences.) It is 100% because of concerns about vehicle traffic safety & pedestrian safety. It reduces people from getting run over and cars hitting each other. (Especially with driveways & garage access.)
That reminds me of the time where my dad installed a tall privacy fence and I asked him if we would install one for the other side and he said "No, we like those neighbors."
I knew a family that had this same problem. One homeowner on the block didn’t want to paint her house. Somehow she was forced to but, like here, no limit on color. Bright yellow roof with purple sides and dayglow green trim. Then, she kept the house those colors for 30 yrs until she sold it.
Harvey Mushman, she seems to have found a loophole. It *IS* technically facing a neighbor. It’s just not facing the one closest to it. *Disclaimer:* this comment is made only in jest. I’m well aware I’m an idiot.
It does depend on the situation. One of my parents' neighbors would have a yard that feels like a box with no sun if we did that to them. The other side of their home is a three floor apartment building. They had politely asked for us to take that into consideration when we first moved in.
@Easy Name Please stop with the assumptions. I was going to say something else, and I realized that I wasn't being nice, so I wanted to say sorry, and I will also try to stop with my assumptions about you, and maybe we can learn to get along and be nice to each other.
@@ImportsEveryday it looks even worse, to me it looks like she took it apart and cut every bit to size just by hand the worst way you can do just crooked and all that, then build it back up again
It makes sense if you live at a cornerhome, since you have to see if any cars are coming by. I guess that the regulation is kept regular for all houseowners in that area, so that cornerhome owners won't get butthurt that only they have to keep a tiny fence.
I would also add there's probably a safety factor in it. It's much easier to see if a stranger is trying to get in your neighbor's house when they're not home if the fence is 4 feet.
@@tychoderkommentator2989 I understand the visibility aspect for cars, but in this case, the fence originally ended far enough from the road to allow visibility for cars pulling out. The neighbor's tall plants (about the length of the original fence) actually goes out closer to the end of the driveway than where this woman's fence is placed... In this scenario, the neighbors are kind of just being jerks and is using the law against her to achieve the look they want. Obviously, this backfired for them though (from what we saw in the video) lol
It's so lines of sight aren't broken for drivers backing out or driving the road, tall fences hide kids! They dart out to get a ball and boom tragedy, especially where cars are parked as drivers cross over limiting visibility, thus laws were written not allowing enclosed over 4ft fencing on the street side of homes. I get that it wasn't all the way up however those laws are written as to not leave any doubt, so any fencing from the moment the house starts must be a certain height or they'll b in court arguing subtleties way to often

WaterspoutsOfTheDeep have you priced a fence? You’re going to pay $5k just because you don’t like someone else’s fence color. Maybe neighbors should be more friendly from the start!
I like how she said when it needs to get painted again imma do it again same colors .... in the nicest voice .. and that moment her neighbors knew they fucked up....
Hell yeah I'm sorry but I have crappy neighbors also I have one lady that complains about any little thing you do my dog barks or farts and she's calling the city it's crazy
Donna, we salute you. And for the neighbor who has no idea why she did what she did, no-one spends good money on a tall privacy fence unless you’ve given them a reason. I remember a neighbor took issue with a small string of low voltage Christmas lights I tied around our yard bench one year. While we were visiting friends she trespassed onto my property and used scissors to cut them in several places. Amazon helpfully delivered two 200’ high brite flashing strings next day delivery and they went full length of the yard for two months. Well, I mean Christmas ran into New Year, ran into Orthodox Christmas, then it was the run up to Easter … no point in taking them down in between, right?
They can build a fence over it, this has an easy fix. In fact in the backyard where its 6' he can build it 10' and do whatever he wants with the paint job, she set the standard.
well there is a law the other side of the fence weathe rit be the persons who put it in she stepped foot on their land to paint it she didnt paint it then put each board up... and i dont blame her the rule is stupid
No she shouldn't, the county may not regulate color but I wouldn't try to find out whether or not they regulate imagery on walls. She's on the safe side right now
It really is ridiculous, childish and ugly. However it’s her fence and so be it...those having to look at it should just erect another fence on their property that hides the view. Problem solved.
@@lizzie5367 Honestly I've never taken my time to look at other people's fences. Do these people have nothing going on in their life that a garish fence ruins their day? Buy a painting or something, look at that instead.
It's one of the most passive-aggressive yet cool and funny things I've seen in a while and I love it. I mean the fence would've looked even better if it was each part painted evenly in its own color, but this is still great, even better, if you're not looking for best look.
This whole thing was entertaining, but when she said the paint lasts 20 years and then she'll repaint it the same color, I lost it 😆😆😆 that's my level of petty. Make it glow in the dark girl 🙌🙌
Maybe her neighbor keeps looking into her windows watching every little bit she does. So she wants a privacy fence so he cant see her and she cannot see him. But the neighbor DOES want to see her. Now he sees a neon fence ajahahahahaha

LMFAO 230 Trotters Walk in Georgia! Fence is still there according to Google maps AND she smartly planted beautiful tall green shrubs and trees on her side!😂😂😂😂
I don't understand the problem in this video either. If that's her property, there shouldn't have any problem. Even the fence height was regulated in that state? Omg. Call my country a third world country or a new developed country or whatever but no rule about the fence height you wanna build if that's in your property.
This was neighbor does that to my brothers friends all the time, they don’t park in front of a mail box or do anything wrong but the neighbor calls the cops because it’s near their property
The neighbor should look into her rights, since the fence is facing her house she might have the right to paint it. Just like if your neighbors tree hangs over your property you can cut down whatever is on your side. OR who knows the fence just might be an inch over her property AND if it is she can do whatever she wants to it, even tear it down.
I love it how USA always pride themselves with what a free country they are. But the government tells you how high the fence, illegal to harvest rain water in some ares, illegal to go off grid in some arias, they don't give you permit if you want to build a small house (there was a video on youtube about a guy that had to declare it a garage to get the permit ), an opinion on twitter can get you fired and the chance of offending someone whatever you say is keeping people walking on eggshells. Keep it up and you'll get closer to what we experienced in Eastern Europe under socialism.
Margarita Herrera negative. If it’s on her property she can paint it however she likes. They said there was bickering so she put the fence up to kill the fighting more and I’m sure she was smart enough to make sure it was plenty far inside her own property line.
So let me get this straight. Neighbours didn’t have respect for her and complained about her fence. So she paints it and accuse her of having no respect: yeah ok.
My neighbor complained that two wheels of my truck were on my grass, ( yes that’s illegal where I live) so I got a warning from the city. The next summer I put the biggest driveway in I could(yes this happened in the middle of winter) this annoyed my neighbor also but I had gotten all the correct permits so it was legal which drove him nuts. I can now park my 4 trucks beside each other on the driveway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I actually don’t park two of them in the garage some nights just rub it in.

Rabbit Correct. I'd be tempted to look up what you are & are not allowed to do fencewise. I would then do EVERYTHING that is not expressly forbidden, including say flashing neon lights strung along the top, some wind chimes, a few garden gnomes, facing my neighbors property, a large pile of horse dung. I'd get a yappy dog. Then I'd sell my house to a chapter of Hell's Angels.
Bob Russell You just give me ideas to deal with an insane neighbor I have: he refuses to my proposal of repairing the fence we share and tells me: let it fall. Very well, he gets his wish and I am waiting for the fall..... Recently he has added a rooster and hens in his backyard. I need to get a fake eagle installed on top of the fence we share. I wonder if there is a wifi fake eagle that I can control from my cell. Got to be high tech theses days, you know.
hector garcia That guy whining about no respect is probably the same guy that complained about the fence in the 1st place. Good for her. I would’ve done the same thing
@Black Buick you make it sound like they got a warrant out for her arrest and shes on the top 10 most wanted list, "she would have been caught eventually" running from county inspectors.
A lot of people do. I had a neighbor bring out a ruler to measure how tall the grass in the yard was and complain to HOA. These are people with no lives who's only source of entertainment is harassing the people around them.
Front yard fences need to be lower so drivers can see clearly down the road when making turns. It is a safety issue and I believe it's more strict with corner lot houses especially.
I'm from Europe and in my town, fences of 6-7 ft are 100% normal. If somebody doesn't want their nosey neighbors to look into their property, that should be their right? I can't wrap my head around the "land of the free" or whatever, where you can't have a fence taller than 4 ft lol
I love how she cut the fence with its jagged snarl tooth-like appearance! I would have hired one of those spray can artist to graffiti it! Oh Donna you make me happy! Neighbors, yeah you! Mind your own damn business!!!

i mean, when i eventually own a home, its gonna be a bright orange. and if any complains, I'll just say "orange you glad its not beige?" beige and neutrals are dumb and shouldn't be the primary colours used in painting houses imo
"No respect for her neighbors" bruh she owns her house respect her wishes to do whatever she wants to her fence shouldn't have bitched and snitched for something so trivial
Okay Mr. Has-Never-Owned-A-House-Worth-Anything. When you own a house, what you do with it directly affects the value of every house around you, as well as how people perceive the neighborhood in general. Having "Respect for your neighbors" is an essential part of homeownership if you don't want everyone to dislike you. The "It's mine so I can do whatever I want" argument is childish and doesn't really present any form of knowledge about the outside world. A Tonka truck is one thing, a piece of hundred thousand dollar real estate is another thing entirely.
@@atomixage if my neighbor cant respect me enough that they have to get my fence cut, they can enjoy a painted view or they can get their own fence. Either everyone plays the respect game, or players like this come out who play by the rules as written.
@Radu Diaconu Yeah tall fences are nice, I have no squabbles with that. The dude was kind of a dumbass for complaining about that, the issue is her paint job and the unevenness of the top. That drags down value.
To be fair the reason that there is a hight limit is that it makes it harder for cars to see children if there about to run across the road so it's for safety
@@guifdcanalli it’s a side yard... imagine 6ft fence... kid playing ball in front yard... a drive on street wouldn’t be able to see over... ball goes in street kid follows... that’s why they have height restrictions.

Not all HOA's are bad. Some are just basic to prevent things like this from happening. It lowers the property value of the surrounding houses. Then there are HOA's who are crazy and try to regulate the way you breathe.
whointhe hecko I would *love* to see any data that shows property values lowered because of a brightly colored fence. Control freaks often use things like this to justify their attempts at controlling others. And as we learned from Lisa Simpson, “Justification is the last refuge of the soulless man.”
Pretty much. My neighbor put in a chain link fence, which I think looks trashy. Instead of complaining to him about it, I just built a wooden fence on my side. Problem solved!
@J L Hell yeah! I bought a house 3yrs ago, that came with a beat up privacy fence in my back yard, on one side of my property. Couple days later my neighbor that lived on the other side asked if he could replace it at his own expense? We wanting to be good neighbors said "Its ok we plan to replace it", he then kindly insisted & said he could do all the work himself. We then said "Ok but how about we give you half?" He smiled & said "No need!" We said "Ok but if you change your mind let us know." When he left, we looked at each other & said "He wants a privacy fence that's to his liking, so if he buys it, we can't say anything...SCORE!" 😎 We got exactly the kind of fence we wanted & didn't have to pay for it! & since then we've had such a great neighbor-friendship! We look out for each others property when we're out of town, even though we all have security cameras. They plow my snow in front & back of garage, even though I don't ask & I bake them brownies. When the husband travels for work, we look to make sure his wife is safe. They've just been great neighbors. See! Compromising pays!
Looks fine to me. Bright and cheerful. Their neighbors need to find something else to do besides being upset at the presence of cheerful colors. She just needs to add some glitter. LOTS and LOTS of glitter. Then it will be perfect. And if the people on the other side don't like it, they can build a fence of their own alongside it, or they can plant shrubs.

So well said. People, in general, seem to be so worried about what others are up to. I tell them all to go F- themselves. I could care less what anyone thinks about anything I do.
djblanton I agree. I’ve had nosey neighbors like this before. But it’s more complicated than telling them to go Fck themselves. You gotta live there everyday. With people next door or around you that are constantly calling complaints on you for whatever they can come up with. It’s a living hell.
She violated the county code and it effected the neighbors property. Why's the neighbor the bad guy. I think the fense looks quite nice. It could use some plants or flowers to soften it up some though. 😉
Her first mistake was by building a tall fence with the support side facing her neighbor. You always build the fence with the ugly side facing inward. That was pety. Ive known neighbors to be too darn nosy too, so i could see her point if he was always standing around watching her. I had an older neighbor that would stand shirtless in his garage and look on his beighbors wofe while she laid by the pool. Her husband retaliated by growing a 15ft tall wall of hedges between them, and they planted trees all around their house. 25 years later they live in a secluded forest.

Plus, she has devalued the whole neighborhood! Shame on her for that. My wood fence is higher across my back yard, too, since my nutty neighbor put a flood light on a 10 ft pole, because he's paranoid.
@@vivians9392 well speaking she had to cut the fence it already diminished the value of the property a wee bit.

@KanadianSpaceProgram did you watch the video? The front yard fence was about 20 ft from the street it wasn't close to the road at all. Plus she went to the county and asked how high the fence can be and they told her 6 ft.
The funny thing is the side the posts are on is the side of the owner of the fence, ... so that "neighbor could tear the fence down because she owns it! 😱🤪🤣😁👍👍🇺🇸
Fences need to be a certain height in front yard and corner lots so that drivers can see clearly when making turns. It's possible it is a city-wide ordinance but when she consulted the city they should have known 6 ft fences are only acceptable in the backyard.
@@s.c.7776 but... her house isn't anywhere near a corner, more close to the center of the street? Plus, there's plenty of room between the end and the road so seeing shouldn't be in issue. Seems to me like they're just neighbors who like to start trouble because they don't have anything else to do.
this woman is my hero! We pay enough taxes and put up with enough nonsense.. I LOVE when people exploit silly laws, or lack thereof. Good for her. I had a nightmare of a neighbor for a time, so I get it. Get over yourselves, people. It’s not YOUR fence.. and you don’t have to pay attention to it.
Exactly! You're (the guy in the video) obviously not smart enough to catch a clue that she just wants to be left alone and have nice neighbors who respect each other, but now because she was attacked by the city, you get to be reminded every day of your unneighborly conduct and you obviously don't want everyone to know that you are truly the bad neighbors. Whatever happened to owning your own property and not being commanded what to do with it. If you can be told what to do with your property, then it isn't really your property.
@Cass M relax lol I was just sharing what I thought. People get so agressive on the internet so fast. Also what I meant was maybe he was standing up for the mutual neighbor they both have because she someone they don't like, I don't know the full situation, neither do you unless you are the neighbor. Either way don't shoot me for having an opinion lol
At least 95% of sane people would find that really obnoxious, which is exactly why she did it. You shouldn't be able to put up a fence (or hedges, FTM) that interferes with a motorist's view of traffic, but beyond that there's no good reason for the government to regulate the fence or for neighbors to whine about it.
They dont want to see her yard, the side and back anyways, the front is ordinances to be 4 foot tall max, either they flat out told her wrong or they were talking about the non front yard or she didnt hear them but we on have one side.
electro1015 most of us watched the video where she says they told her it was ok. Then recanted. And if we use context clues she clearly states that she’s been having issues with her neighbor for years and thought putting up a fence would stop those issues. Sounds like her nosey neighbor DOES want to see what she’s doing on her side and has complained or confronted her about whatever she’s doing on her yard. The fence was supposed to add privacy to prevent that.
@Jamie Mills Whatever happened between the lady and the neighbor is one thing. But the lady made it everybody''s issue when she painted the fence in circus colors. He is focusing on the right direction. She is the one who put her issues in everybody's face.
That's what you get for being a nosey neighbor! I think that fence is awesome. I might also decorate it with black silhouettes. Cool, LEGAL street art! 🤣
Me too! If people want to live under the Gestapo known as a homeowner’s association, because they prioritize living in a picturesque neighborhood, over personal freedom, they can go for it. I, personally, do not pay property taxes to have zero rights to do anything with my own property. It seems to me, that defeats the whole purpose of owning your own house.

@@Digger-Nick first off "looking stupid" is completely subjective and thus not a valid argument and "total chaos" lacks any legal or formal definition, and is an absurd hyperbole and thus is an invalid argument. How could it possibly affect another person's deliveries?
@@Digger-Nick perhaps the owner of the property, in which the fence is laid, does not wish to see , I assume, this man's house. And we are talking private deliveries, as in private corporate companies potentially being hindered, as per your claim, and not the, once again assuming gender, man's federal mailbox. which by federal regulations must be in certain locations and not duly compromised in its accessibility. It is not a private citizens obligation to make life easier or, at least, less complicated, for a private corporation company that provides delivery services. So even if we grant your point as valid, it is not the owners responsibility to act on behalf of a private corporation. Now that is *if* we grant your point, but we cannot, rightfully, grant it as such, until you elaborate upon the claim itself as to how the tall fence on one property affects, and in what regard there are visible effects, another person's deliverability from said private corporation. Also I think the colors on the fence are cool and extravagant and fun. so Kudos to the owner. That's a win.
The neighbor that complained had a valid point, her view was obstructed, not necessarily the view of the neighbors house and yard, but beyond like the trees further down the street.
Neighbors are always worried about crap that does not concern them. Why can’t people mind there own business and stop worrying about what others do 😂😂😂😂
My dad is so odd, he gets so concerned with our neighbors’ properties that he has walked along the sidewalk of our cul-de-sac spraying weed killer onto our neighbors’ yards after spraying our own. He admitted to doing this regularly. I was shocked when I found out. I expressed that it’s not ok at all, especially considering he was using RoundUp and it’s controversial because it can cause health issues in people and pets (especially when no one else knows it’s been used on their property without their consent). We have an HOA and all of us can be fined individually for having weeds growing in our own yards, but it’s none of my dad’s business if my neighbors are busy living life and let a few weeds grow from time to time as a trade off.
I support the woman. There are too many sick, perverted men around our neighbourhoods preying on sole single women who live next door etc. or women-only households, and these perverted men are getting away with it the world over, because the police and the council / local authority let them away with it. Put the shoe on the other foot. If it was a woman being nosey towards a male neighbour, she would be called all the perverts and depraved beings of the day; she would be stepped on from a very high height by both the police and the council, and likely arrested for whatever form of criminality they could find to charge her with. At least it is this way in Scotland.
