I live in a rural Virginia area where there are no barking dog laws. My neighbor's house is around 600 feet from my property and she has 7 dogs, mostly large gogs, that are kepted outside in her back yard, The dogs bark day and night. It sounds like the Hounds of Baskervuille when they get started and the barking lasts for 5-6 hrs. I cannot enjoy my property, I can't sleep at night and the barking is driving me crazy like a toothache in my head. The cops have been to her house to ask her to quiet them down, to no avail. Can I sue her in civil court?
Answer
Yes, you should be able to sue her in your local general district court for
maintaining a private nuisance (my opinion).
