Florida has no shared-cost fence law so each Jupiter property owner pays for their own fence. FL 823.11 spite fence statute applies if a fence is erected maliciously. Finished side faces neighbor under Jupiter town custom.
Unlike California or Washington, FL has no statutory obligation for adjacent owners to share fence costs. Each owner builds and maintains fencing on their side of the property line. FL Statute 823.11 makes fences erected solely to annoy a neighbor a civil nuisance. Jupiter Town Code Sec. 27-1641(d) requires the finished, smooth side of the fence face outward toward neighbors and public right-of-way. Survey markers recommended before installation to avoid encroachment disputes. Fences exactly on the line require written neighbor agreement or they default to the builders property.
Wrong-side installation 100 dollars plus correction order. Encroachment over property line is a civil matter between owners, not code-enforced.
