While looking for a CYV, I've noted murals, visible through the dining room slider, painted on the neighboring villa's wall. Is painting on your neighbor's house a thing in TV? Is your neighbor's permission needed?

Painting your neighbor's house is not allowed without their permission.

Really? Never heard of this before.

Nor have I. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

I wouldn't call this etiquette. It is covered in the deed restrictions.

That would be a no-no to paint on the wall of the villa next door. Plus when the homeowner repaints their home, the mural is going away. Are you sure it wasn't the back wall of the yard? Those murals have been featured in the Lifestyle and Gardening sections of the Daily Sun. Until TV started using course textured blocks to build the back walls, they used regular concrete blocks and smooth coated the veneer making it possible to paint. That stopped about 2010 when they switched to the rough blocks saving them one step and making repainting unnecessary.

In my back yard, we've got the course textured wall, so I just let the little 18" berry shrubs along the back wall grow. They did grow, in ten years they've go above the wall if I don't trim them every 2 or 3 months.

You can paint the inside of the walls of a CYV any way you want just as your neighbor can paint their side as they like. Our neighbors have a mural painted on their side.

Really? Your neighbors painted or had painted a mural on their next door neighbors house????

I don't think I understood this correctly. I have seen pictures of walls painted but I have always thought they were the interior wall of the back privacy wall.

The deed restrictions clearly state the you cannot attach any object to the neighbor's wall. I think that would include paint, which is an object. So, you cannot paint the neighbor's wall.

I've seen murals painted on both the rear wall and on the neighboring villa's wall. Below is the one I saw today that made me ask the question on TOTV.

Something no one has mentioned is maybe the owner asked his neighbor if it would be OK to paint a mural. If they are good friends and the mural is out-of-sight, I don't see why they wouldn't go along with the idea. I would probably agree if my neighbor asked me, I would ask first to see a drawing. Of course as I mentioned earlier, if you paint your villa as I did last year after 9 years, the mural will be painted over. If the home was for sale, I would look in the description to see if the neighbor had given prior approval.

Well, this is a new one to me. We don't know if the owner of the home holding the mural gave permission. But if they didn't, seems like they could force the mural painter to pay for a paint job.

This is the inside wall of the homeowner. All of the walls inside the villa yard are the responsibility of the homeowner.

good grief..... is this really as issue if it's on the inside of a wall that faces the mural painter's own home? myob maybe?

I have no input for the artistry on the wall, but John I LOVE what you did with yours. I am a birder so thank you for the feeder and growing the hedge to give them protection.
