It would get me riled up as well - good point. There is a fence separating our property from the one next to us and my recent survey verified its location in relation to our property line. It would be smart to have a conversation with my neighbor beforehand regardless. I'm planning on fixing the run-down fence in the process, so hopefully they're game. Thanks Mollusk.

Permit office called back and said that it is an issue for the Planning and Development Department. Left a voicemail and waiting to hear back.

My only utility easement is in the back of the property, not where I plan to build. Emailed my Civic Association for their blessing. I also called the CoH permit office to see what they say. I'll post any updates as I hear back. Thanks for your response Ross.

I know an uncovered deck doesn't require a building permit as long as it is not 30" above finished grade. We live in a detached single family in Lindale Park. We do not have an official HOA (nothing with real teeth anyway). I'd like to build a deck in my side yard up to my property line, but can't find anything on the COH's website restricting it. It will likely be visible from the street from the right vantage points and the last thing I want is to build one only to have to tear it out later. Thanks!

I am a big fan of Karen Rose! She's a sweet older lady, but can get stuff done! Hope this helps! Looks like you posted this a long time ago. https://plus.google.com/116450767126468797058/about?gl=us&hl=en

We just bought in Lindale Park. It's definitely growing in popularity as is reflected by the increases in price. It's still reasonable though, for now.
