You bring up a good question about Code Enforcement. I reached out to the Building Codes Division of District 10. The answer I found was that Code Enforcement is 100% Complaint Driven. In other words, build something outside of the building code, if no one complains, neighbor, etc. then you'll get away with it until???? Risky way to live. If you don't like your neighbor and it bothers your freedom...Complain to your local Board and the fences will come down or they'll be paying Fines to keep them up. BEWARE if you choose to complain you MUST leave your name and address. This does become public record. This is needed to avoid for those false complaints.
