Ownership of a fence in Colorado generally depends on its location relative to property lines. Fences built within the property lines are usually owned by the property owner who constructed them, unless otherwise stated in a Colorado Boundary Line Agreement regarding Encroachment of Fence, Driveway, or Structure. If a fence straddles the boundary, ownership can be shared or determined by local law. It’s beneficial to clarify ownership to avoid disputes.
All structures must maintain a distance of 5 feet from all property lines. Structures may be located outside a building envelope unless restricted to the building envelope as part of an approved development. No part of any structure may extend into or above any easement.
Unless the property owners to a fence dispute mutually agree, fences that are located on the actual boundary line belong to both property owners. As such, both are responsible for maintaining the condition of the fence and the costs of any repairs.
Typically, fences are installed anywhere from 2 to 8 inches from a property line in most areas. Some areas might allow to go right up to a property line, especially if you live in an urban row house where every inch makes a difference!
Customers having new fencing installed often ask us exactly where they should position their new fence. Getting it right avoids (potentially costly) disputes over encroachment in the future. As a rule of thumb, the outer face of the fence should be placed along the boundary. The posts should stand on your land.
