The Issue

I am a homeowner who values privacy highly; a place where I can fully unwind without concern for the prying eyes of the outside world. I pay my taxes diligently and believe that this right should be accorded to all of us who contribute similarly. We are calling for a change to allow 6ft fence heights along all property boundaries in unincorporated St. JOSEPH COUNTY, South Bend, IN (the areas of 5 digit address). Presently, the average residential fence height restriction is around 36 inchs  at the front of a property, and around 6 feet at the back of a property. However, these restrictions do vary significantly across different regions (based on National Association of Home Builders data). We believe that this consistent height for fence around the entire boundary not only aligns with personal privacy concerns but also doesn't cause significant issues for neighbors or communities. With your signatures, we can persuade local municipalities and cities to reassess and revise current fencing laws. By embracing our collective power, we can ensure everyone's right to privacy is respected, further enhancing our quality of life. Help us make a difference; sign this petition today.
