Can anyone please tell me how to find detailed information concerning the specific federal law referred to in the following statement I read in an article regarding fences? "FEDERAL law mandates that a boundary fence may not be removed without the permission of the other owner. Removing a boundary fence without agreement is cause for civil action." I have found numerous references that mention it is illegal to remove a boundary fence without the consent of both parties, but was encouraged to find that federal law actually applies to this. Based on the research I have done up to this point, there is no South Carolina state law governing boundary fences, nor is there any York County ordinance for this. However, I also read another article that specified that, generally, state law is trumped by federal law. If there is information contrary to what I have found, please also let me know this.
Thank you!
Thank you!
