What to do if there is a dispute about a fence?
When a dispute arises about fences and boundary lines, this could include the appearance of the fence, how much land is covered, how it blocks sunlight to other plants and similar concerns. The initial dispute may not be voiced to the person with the fence but to a HOA, community board or an agent that has power within the court.

Fences on Boundary Lines Unless property owners agree otherwise, fences on a boundary line belong to both owners.

Both owners are responsible for keeping the fence in good repair, and neither may remove it without the other’s permission.
When does a fence become a problem?
Many issues where a fence causes a problem start decades prior to the current era. It is frequently only when the homeowner is attempting to improve the property, add on, place new structures or similar matters that the fencing dispute arises.
