Ohio has no shared-fence cost statute for residential property (ORC 971 applies only to agricultural land). Dublin neighbors are each responsible for their own fences unless private agreement.
Unlike California's Good Neighbor Fence Act, Ohio law does not require neighbors to share residential fence costs. Dublin residents wishing to share costs must document the agreement privately. Property line disputes should be resolved via survey before construction. Spite fences (erected to harass neighbors) actionable under Ohio common law.
