Arizona has no shared boundary-fence statute like California's. Each owner is responsible for the fence on their own land. A wall straddling the property line is settled by agreement or the courts.
Arizona is an each-owner-fences-his-own state. No statute forces a neighbor to split the cost of a boundary fence or wall, so a homeowner near Fort Mohave or Golden Valley cannot bill the adjoining owner for half. Where a block wall sits on the property line—common on builder-installed subdivision perimeters—ownership and upkeep should be fixed in writing or by the recorded plat and any CC&Rs. Mohave County does not referee these disputes. A survey establishes the true line, and encroachment or cost claims are resolved in civil court. A deliberately useless spite fence can be attacked as a common-law nuisance.
There is no county cost-sharing enforcement; it's a civil matter. An encroaching wall is a trespass a court can order moved, and a spite fence may be abated as a nuisance.
