The Law

If you are annoyed by your neighbor, you cannot legally construct a fence exceeding six feet in height just to block their view or annoy them. This 'spite fence' law was enacted to prevent petty property disputes from turning into architectural warfare. Anything over six feet built maliciously is considered a nuisance and can be ordered torn down.
