what is the legal leway between privite propertys?

Question

I have a problem with people cutting thru my yard,the police have been called. I need to know what amount of space is needed as a leeway inorder for me to put up a fence

Answer 1

That is a local issue. I would ask the building inspector or zoning board for clarification.

BTW: In most places that I know 'leeway' is called 'set back'. There may be other requirements for the fence as well, such as height, materials and who gets to see the 'good side'.
