Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Variance from homeowners assoc.for privacy fence.
We needed to build a privacy fence above the stated 6' limit set out in our covenants. We approached the Pres. of our assoc. and received a variance. Now the assoc. claims the variance applied to a very specific section of fence, although this wasn't stated in the letter. This construction was completed by my wife and myself and took approx. 4+ weeks to complete. Our property is directly across the street from the assoc. pres. and he watched the construction the entire time. Literally on the last day of construction 2 other assoc. board members rode by our property and within 5 minutes the Pres.was in our yard, irate, and is now taking us to court seeking injunctive relief. Any advice? Thanx Ken

You have been sued so it is well beyond the time to get advice from a forum such as this. Get a qualified RE/HOA lawyer.
