Gresham allows fences on property lines. Oregon law does not require neighbor consent for fences on your own property. Shared fence maintenance costs may be split by agreement.
Under Gresham code, fences can be placed on the property line. Oregon law does not require neighbor consent to build a fence on your own property, though good communication is encouraged. If a fence sits directly on the property line, both property owners share maintenance responsibility by default under Oregon law. Disputes about fence placement may require a property survey. The city does not mediate private fence disputes but enforces code compliance for height and condition.
Code violations for height or condition are enforced. Private disputes are civil matters between neighbors.
