Orem follows Utah general property law for shared fences. Utah Code §17-15-3 provides county fence viewers for disputes. No Orem-specific cost-sharing ordinance exists. Fences must not create vision hazards near driveways.
Orem does not have a specific ordinance mandating neighbor cost-sharing for boundary fences. Utah Code §17-15-3 establishes county fence viewers who can arbitrate boundary fence disputes. Property owners must ensure fences are on their own property or have written neighbor consent for shared boundary placement. Fences may not create a sight hazard — no fence over 3 feet in height may be within 25 feet of a driveway if it creates a clear vision area obstruction. Disputes about fence placement, condition, or maintenance are primarily civil matters.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. HOA violations per CC&Rs.
