a good portion of our boundary fence fell over from high winds. we share the fence with 2 neighbors. one neighbor (where the fence is broken) has agreed to replace the old wood fence with cement blocks. problem is: our other neighbor whom we share 25 feet of fence will not return our calls. he rents out the house and lives elsewhere. we've sent a letter and he finally called us and mentioned his concern about the cement blocks and then the phone hung up abruptly. ever since, we have not been able to contact him to finalize details. i really think hes avoiding us. we are not the only ones whos had a great deal of trouble getting in contact with him. does anyone know if we can go ahead and replace the 25 feet of fence we share with this neighbor with out his final approval??? please help as this has been truly frustrating.

Whenever I've built or purchased a home with a fence or wall...I've insured the fence was a minimum of one inch on MY side of the property line.
This enables you to dictate what you want to put up. If the neighbors don't like it...they can put up their own style of fencing on their side of the property line!
Best wishes.

just move the fence to your property you need no approval from him. you are talking about what 6 inches? a shared fence is just shared cost the fence is actually only on one persons property at any given point.

I would send him a registered/certified letter stating that you are going to install the fence if he doesn't give input on the situation. Make sure you keep the receipt for delivery of the letter.

You do not need his permission to build a fence as long as the fence is on your property and you do not need to enter his property to build the fence.

No approval is needed from your neighbor as long as the fence is on your property.
