Nebraska has no statewide spite fence statute. Omaha does not require neighbor consent for fences on property lines. The finished side must face neighbors.
Nebraska does not have a general spite fence statute, and Omaha does not require neighbor agreement before building a fence on or near the property line. However, the finished surface of the fence must face adjacent properties under Chapter 43, Article V. Property surveys are advisable before construction. Nebraska's partition fence statute (Neb. Rev. Stat. §34-101) applies primarily to agricultural settings and generally not to urban residential fences. Disputes between neighbors are typically resolved civilly.
No consent violation per se, but fences built on the wrong property or without proper permits are subject to code enforcement and civil liability.
