[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm seriously considering fencing off part of my yard without going through the permitting process. I have a reason for doing it, and the only neighbor who would be affected is fully aware of the situation and supportive of my plan to fence off that part of my yard. What are the consequences? Are there none until I go to sell the house?

I realize that a fence company likely would balk. My friend has suggested someone who will do the work; he's more of a handyman and is probably not aware of the permitting process.

We’re in Chevy Chase and did the same thing as soon as we moved in. The existing fence was that ancient wire stuff and full of holes, we closed in June after the village meeting and they weren’t meeting again to issue permits until September. We spoke with the immediate neighbors involved and said hey, we have two dogs. We need to replace these two lengths of fence so that our dogs will be safe and we need to do that right away. Is it OK? They said yes and all has been fine.[/quote]
