Drone question: flying over neighborhood
#2
Here is some examples of what I found

Can I fly a drone over someone’s backyard?

Yes, under FAA regulations, you’re allowed to fly over private property—including backyards—provided you’re in uncontrolled airspace and following all relevant rules. However, hovering or filming over someone’s home for an extended period may raise privacy concerns and lead to complaints or legal issues. It’s best to avoid unnecessary overflight unless you have a valid reason and permission from the property owner.

How long can you fly a drone over private property?

There’s no federal time limit for how long you can fly over private land, but lingering for too long—especially if you’re hovering—can lead to privacy complaints. The longer you stay over someone’s home or yard, the more likely it is to be perceived as intrusive. Keep your flights short, purposeful, and respectful to avoid conflict.
