1. Read your documentation carefully as there can be variations from one neighborhood to another but the doc is the definitive answer.

2. Do not confuse what you own with what you are responsible to maintain.

3. In general the property line on CYVs runs 1/2 way between houses.

4. Even though you may own property on both sides of your house, you can only landscape on the one side that is inside your fence. You can landscape the entire side following ARC / TV rules ( eg no shrubs touching your neighbors house, no hanging trellis, lights or anything else on your neighbors house etc.)

5. On the side that is inside your fence your neighbor is only responsible to maintain their house itself such as painting, power washing etc. They cannot landscape.

Bottom line: when it comes to landscaping the side yard on a CYV it really doesn’t matter where the survey lines are - just the fence (unless the fence itself is in the wrong location).

Did I get this right?
Pretty much. There is one foot easement up against neighbors house for drainage the one foot area off the house that graveled, basically the area under his eve’s nothing should be within 1 foot of that wall way I interpret it?
