North Carolina has no Good Neighbor Fence Act requiring cost-sharing. Under NCGS 68-7, each property owner is responsible for their own boundary fence. Livestock-fence statute NCGS 68-16 applies in rural Mecklenburg areas where owners must contain animals.
Disputes over shared fences in unincorporated Mecklenburg County are civil matters resolved through mediation or small claims court. A written agreement between neighbors is recommended before construction. Survey verification before installation helps prevent encroachment claims. Contact Mecklenburg County at (704) 336-7600 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
