Boynton Beach has no cost-sharing law for fences. FL §823.11 prohibits spite fences. Shared boundary fences need neighbor agreement only if crossing the property line.
Florida has no statutory fence cost-sharing law, unlike California. Each Boynton Beach property owner is responsible for fences on their own lot. A fence placed on the property line requires mutual agreement and is typically memorialized with a shared fence maintenance agreement. FL Statute §823.11 (spite fence) allows civil action if a fence was erected maliciously to annoy a neighbor and exceeds a reasonable height for its purpose. Boundary disputes typically require a survey; Palm Beach County property records are public.
