Check your VCDD. The are most likely the owner and responsible for maintenance. Or, you can call The Department of Property Management. They schedule maintenance of it.

Good idea to keep people in. God knows what would happen if we left the villages. LOL

You can call Customer Service to get more information and to ask who to talk to about the chicken wire.[/QUOTE]

What did they say when you called the district office - they will also tell you about attaching something to the black fence that they own - make the call and save time reading all the stupid responses on this site!!

Not all responses are stupid. Not all questions are stupid. Just some of each.

I have the black 4-board fence behind my house and the houses of my neighbors to my left and right, all built during 2010-2012.

The fence I'm describing is about a mile long. The property on the other side is non-Villages, now Trailwinds Village. It originally was a pasture and is now commercial & residential.

The fence is on our properties. I (we) are sure of this because I and many of my neighbors have found the yellow surveyor pins that mark our property lines. We are responsible for its maintenance, although nobody has had to do anything, not even paint.

When our houses were built, we also got plants put in on our side, a row of ligustrum bushes and several oak trees. The ligustrum are now very thick and each owner trims them to a height and thickness that suits them.

It's your fence, so do what you want. In my case, I added some black weed-control landscape fabric to fill in the spaces between the boards. This was near my pool/bird cage and enhanced my privacy.
