[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That said, drainage issues are very expensive and aggravating. Our lovely neighbors regraded and set up their drainage with river rocks and all to drain into our backyard. Bastards! This is apparently not illegal. We spoke to them and they told us we should just regrade. Don't even get me started [quote]

Yup,  my neighbor did the same to us.  Asked my husband if it was "ok" to drain the water off his roof and house towards our property AFTER the guys had put in the drainage pipe.   When we asked him to please reroute towards the ditch in front, he said it had already been done!   :([/quote]

Depending where you live, such as DC, the building permit regulators will require that downspouts be routed to a buried catch basin/box that functions a bit like a septic tank (without the fields) where the water slowly percolates out underground in the yard.   Sometimes DCRA misses this, because the renovation doesn't seem extensive.  I would assume MoCo may have a similar requirement.  This may give you some leverage in discussions with your recently-renovating neiighbor about how they channel the water.[/quote]
