Not sure you are really asking how to deal with this, since you simply asked whom you should consult, but.....if you do appreciate the suggestions, it would help if we knew a bit more about the situation, for instance...are you friendly with the neighbors and did they tell you about the fence? Did you simply hear it from a third party? Have you seen signs of construction?
Would other neighbors, or community watch, see the fence? If not, it may be painfully apparent you were the anonymous caller (if you go that route), so probably better, all the way around, to go face to face with your concerns. I do agree with a previous post, it shouldn't be your job to police your neighbors. They know they are breaking the rules. Why should you be put in an awkward position? On the other hand....better to save them the expense and trouble, if you plan to report them, anyway. BTW, if they acquired 3 dogs AFTER moving here, they are already breaking the rules. No way for us to know that, just an FYI, for your own info.
It was also suggested that maybe you could just live with it, but it's apparent since you posted here, that's not your choice. Have the other posters here considered the fact that neighbors are planning to have 3 dogs in the yard near the OP? What if the dogs bark, scratch up the yard, smell up the yard.....ew!! Are they big dogs that are threatening? Lots of factors, but in truth, none of that matters. IT IS AGAINST THE RULES!!
Maybe the neighbors frequent Talk Of The Villages, and have already seen this thread. Problem solved!!
