Oklahoma has no shared-cost statute for boundary fences. Broken Arrow allows fences to be built up to the property line. A survey is recommended to determine accurate boundaries before construction. Oklahoma is an open-range state. The city does not adjudicate boundary disputes between neighbors.
Oklahoma does not have a shared fence cost statute like California’s Civil Code §841. Each property owner is responsible for fences on their own property. Oklahoma is primarily an open range state - livestock owners not required to fence in animals in most counties. Some counties have adopted closed range through election under 4 O.S. §98. Boundary fence disputes resolved through civil court. Written agreements with neighbors recommended.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. Open range: 2 O.S. §1.
