Glendale does not require neighbor consent to build a fence on your property. California Civil Code Section 841 governs shared boundary fences and provides for equal cost-sharing between benefiting property owners.
Under California law (Civil Code Section 841), adjoining landowners are presumed to benefit equally from a partition fence and share costs equally for its construction and maintenance. Property owners may build a fence entirely on their own property without neighbor consent. Boundary disputes should be resolved through a property survey. Glendale requires the finished side to face outward. HOAs may impose additional requirements.
Fences built over property lines are a civil matter between neighbors. The city does not mediate private property line disputes but enforces zoning compliance.
