Jurupa Valley does not require fences between private properties unless one property has a swimming pool, and treats boundary disputes as civil matters. California's Good Neighbor Fence Act presumes neighbors share fence costs equally.
The city's official FAQ states that walls and fences are not required between private properties unless one property has a swimming pool, and recommends hiring a private surveyor for property-line questions, since boundary discrepancies are civil matters between owners. State law fills the gap: under California Civil Code Section 841, adjoining landowners are presumed to share an equal benefit from any division fence and are presumed equally responsible for the reasonable costs of construction, maintenance, or necessary replacement, unless a written agreement says otherwise. A landowner who intends to incur such costs must give each affected adjoining owner 30 days' prior written notice describing the problem, proposed solution, and estimated costs.
The city does not penalize neighbors who decline to share fence costs; cost-sharing under Civil Code Section 841 is enforced through civil courts, including small claims court, not by Code Enforcement.
