No, you cannot put up a fence "legally." You especially cannot set up a covert dog run. If you report it to the VCDD, they will send an officer to inspect, and write up the homeowner. This is done anonymously ... ie if you report your name is not used. The homeowner is then given some time to fix (ie remove) or face a fine. in the worse case, continued ignoring of official requests to fix can result in additional legal action against the offending homeowner.

Let's face it ... these people know the rules, signed a legal document to that effect, but are trying to evade them. Therefore, they should be reported.
