Englewood requires fences to be on the owner's property. Colorado has no shared-cost fence statute. The finished side should face neighboring property. Fences within easements are permitted but the city is not liable for damage during easement access.
Englewood's fence code requires all fences to be located on the owner's property, no closer than 1 foot behind any public sidewalk. Building on a shared property line requires neighbor consent. Colorado has no shared-cost fence statute, so there is no legal requirement for neighbors to split costs. The finished side of the fence should face outward toward neighboring property. Fences may be placed within easements, but the city is not responsible for repair or replacement if fences must be removed for easement access. Property line surveys are recommended before building near boundaries.
Building on neighbor's property: potential civil trespass. Fence obstructing easement access: owner's liability.
