Description

Statutory regulation of partition fences exists in many states. Such statutes may require a particular kind of fence and prohibit other kinds of fences, and may establish certain requirements of cooperation between adjoining landowners as to partition fences. Even where statutory regulation exists, adjoining landowners are usually free to execute agreements with respect to fences that are at variance from the requirements of the statutes. If there is no applicable statute, control over the construction and maintenance of fences is usually regulated by agreement between the adjoining landowners.

FAQ

Basic Fence Laws in California Front yard fences have a maximum height of 42 inches, while backyard fences can climb up to 72 inches. These numbers change if you share the fence with your neighbor. A shared fence must be 62 inches tall at a minimum ? not maximum ? and free from relatively large gaps.

The Good Neighbor Fence Act in California establishes the principle of equal responsibility for building, maintaining, and repairing boundary fences between neighboring landowners. It promotes cooperation and fairness by ensuring that costs and responsibilities of fence ownership are shared equally.

Fences are typically built between 2 and 8 inches from the line between properties. Some areas will allow the building of fences directly on the property line, but in this case, you'll have to cooperate with your neighbor and potentially share the cost of the fence.

This will help you to understand what you and your neighbor are legally responsible for regarding your shared fence. The gist of the law is that since both parties are benefiting from having the boundary fence, there will be cost sharing with each neighbor responsible for half the costs.

If a fence is constructed on the boundary line between your property and your neighbor's, California's Good Neighbor Fence Act says that the two neighbors must evenly split the costs of fence construction, maintenance, and eventual replacement.

Party Walls. (a) Adjoining landowners shall share equally in the responsibility for maintaining the boundaries and monuments between them.

These interior fences can also be called partitions, because they work just like walls do that are indoors, to enclose a space such as a swimming pool or a vegetable garden. Partition fences also help to define space in a more open way, improve property safety, and control views.

(1) Adjoining landowners are presumed to share an equal benefit from any fence dividing their properties and, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in a written agreement, shall be presumed to be equally responsible for the reasonable costs of construction, maintenance, or necessary replacement of the fence.
