Charleston follows South Carolina's general property line rules for fences. Fences must be built entirely on the owner's property. Shared fences on property lines require neighbor agreement.
Under South Carolina law and Charleston practice, fences must be built entirely on the property owner's land unless both neighbors agree to a shared boundary fence. Property owners should have a recent survey to confirm property lines before building. The finished side of a fence typically faces outward. Charleston does not require neighbor notification before fence construction, but courtesy notice is recommended. Disputes over fence placement are civil matters resolved in court.
Fences built on a neighbor's property may be required to be moved. Property line disputes are resolved through civil court.
