Neighbor Fence Rules

Between Wright County farm parcels, Minnesota's partition-fence law (Chapter 344) makes adjoining livestock owners share a boundary fence in equal shares, with township supervisors acting as fence viewers. On city lots there is no cost-sharing law; spite fences are barred by section 561.02.
