Tinfoil Papercut: Jul 27, 2016; by Athanatos

Typically fences are installed a few feet over the property line, on the fence owner's side. You can usually tell by which direction the posts are facing, if they are facing the abandoned house, the fence is theirs.

BUT there's nothing stopping you from putting your own fence up on your property. A nice 8 foot'er sounds about right.

I'd also recommend getting a big dog. Greyhounds are awesome because they can look mean with the right coloring but are actually very gentle and low-maintenance.

Otherwise I like this idea:

Also, do whatever you need to at the abandoned house. After I did what was stated above, I waited a few days, and in broad daylight, went in the house (through the wide open front door), and lag screwed every window closed from the inside with these novelty large lag screws (like 1/2" or something). Then I lagged the doors closed (with me inside). Then I climbed through the last remaining open window, the smallest one I could find, lagged it closed from the outside, then ground the heads off the screws.

Beta level fence game, if you're paying for the fence you can make your neighbours look at the lovely posts.

I always thought you were required to have the posts face in, or is this just local ordinances I've been subjected to?
