If a fence is on the property line, ownership and maintenance responsibility should be established between neighbors. Written agreements recommended. Disputes resolved through civil court or HOA mediation. Some HOAs require uniform fencing and dictate fence maintenance responsibilities.
Civil dispute for cost-sharing. Spite fence: nuisance action under FL §823.11. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy.
