Colorado follows the Good Neighbor Fence Law (C.R.S. §35-46-112), which does not prescribe statewide height limits but requires shared fence costs if both neighbors benefit. Colorado Springs has no additional neighbor-notification requirement for standard residential fences.
Colorado's Good Neighbor Fence Law (C.R.S. §35-46-112) establishes a general framework for boundary fences: if a fence benefits both properties (e.g., a shared boundary fence), both neighbors share responsibility for maintenance costs. Colorado Springs does not require neighbor notification or consent before installing a fence that meets height and material standards. Property owners should verify the property line with a survey before installing. HOA rules may impose stricter requirements than city code. Disputes over fence location or cost-sharing are civil matters typically handled through negotiation or small claims court.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. HOA violations per CC&Rs.
