Hesperia has no local shared-fence cost-sharing ordinance. California Civil Code §841 (the Good Neighbor Fence Act) controls — adjoining landowners share equally in the cost of reasonably necessary boundary fences, with 30 days' written notice required before construction.
Hesperia's Development Code §16.20.072 sets fence dimensions but does not regulate cost-sharing between neighbors. California Civil Code §841 (the Good Neighbor Fence Act of 2013) presumes adjoining landowners benefit equally from a boundary fence and share equally in the reasonable costs of construction, maintenance, or replacement. A neighbor seeking contribution must provide 30 days' written notice describing the problem, proposed solution, estimated cost, and timeline. The presumption of equal benefit may be rebutted with evidence of disproportionate use, financial hardship, or unreasonable design. Boundary disputes are handled in San Bernardino County Superior Court.
Failure to provide statutory 30-day written notice may defeat a contribution claim. Building on a neighbor's land without consent can constitute trespass.
