Is it OK to paint your side of fence?
Your neighbour doesn’t have to change a wall or fence just because you want them to, for example making it higher for privacy. You can’t make changes to your side without their permission, such as painting it. If the wall or fence seems dangerous, point this out because your neighbour might not be aware.
Can I decorate my side of the fence?
If the side of the fence you painted is on your property, you can paint it. If not, you can offer to paint it over again in a similar color to the original look. Or you could invite them to check in with their own lawyer to see what that person says. You can also check with your own lawyer.
Well, there’s the legal answer and then there’s the neighbourly answer. A fence on the property line is really in joint ownership. So you can paint your side whatever colour you want. People often put up fences on their side of the divide so they will have control.
Which side of the fence is my responsibility?
When looking at the plans, the ownership is indicated by a “T” marked on the plans on one side of a boundary. If the “T” is written on your side of the boundary, you’re responsible for maintaining it. If there’s an H (although actually it’s two joined Ts) the boundary is the joint responsibility of both parties.
Can a Neighbour have a camera at my house?

Can my Neighbour take photos of my property?
There is no general restriction on taking photographs while on private property as long as the photographer has permission and owners or tenants do not normally have a right to stop someone from taking photos of their property from a public place.

How do you paint a wood fence?
Painting a fence is necessary if you want to change the fence’s color or if the current paint is chipping. To start, clear the surrounding area and remove any loose screws and nails.

What color is a wood fence?
Colors, however, are usually fairly limited for vinyl fences – white is the most common option, though you may find other neutral options such as beige, tan and brown. Colored fences tend to fade over time, though. Vinyl fencing also costs more than wooden options, so it may not be the best choice if you’re on a budget.
