A neighbor has built 2 houses 100 ft behind our property line, they have cleaned it out for the 1st time this weekend and the odor is almost unbearable. I would think that before building they should have some sort of discussion with the surrounding neighbors. I am quite sure our property value has now plummeted
I dont think so. As long as they are on their property, I dont think you have much of a say. Where are you in TN? I’m in east, near Knox. You can try calling your city, and see if they are breaking any rules. A house that backs my mom’s has a small 10×10 dog pen with three dogs in it. The dogs never come out, they never go for walks and in the summer the smell is awful. But, there is nothing they can do. its their land.

This would typically be addressed by zoning ordinances, which (depending on where you live) may be established by the city, the county, or the state.
