Indiana has no residential Good Neighbor Fence Act. IC §32-26-9 covers agricultural partition fences only. Boundary disputes resolved through common law.
Indiana does not have a residential cost-sharing fence statute. Each property owner is responsible for their own fence. IC §32-26-9 (partition fence law) applies primarily to agricultural/rural land. For residential properties, boundary fence disputes are resolved through common law and civil court. Spite fences may be actionable as a nuisance. Indiana follows strict liability for dog bites (IC §15-20-1), which can affect neighbor relationships around fence adequacy. Property surveys recommended before building near boundary lines.
Civil remedy: lawsuits for encroachment or nuisance. Small claims court for disputes under $8,000. Spite fence: injunction + damages.
