New Mexico does not have a shared fence cost statute like California’s Civil Code §841. Each property owner is responsible for fences on their own property. Importantly, New Mexico is primarily an open range state - in rural areas, landowners must fence livestock OUT, not in. This reverses the typical fencing burden. Boundary fence disputes resolved through civil court. Written agreements with neighbors recommended for shared fences.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. Open range liability per NMSA §77-16-1.
