Florida does not require neighbors to share fence costs by statute. In Pembroke Pines, the builder pays unless neighbors agree otherwise. HOA rules may govern shared fences.
Florida does not have a statutory fence-sharing law. The property owner who builds a fence is responsible for its cost unless both neighbors agree in writing to share. Fences should be built on the builder's property line or by mutual agreement. In HOA communities, the association may govern shared boundary fences and their maintenance. Florida does not specifically address spite fences by statute, but nuisance law may apply. Property boundary disputes should be resolved through surveys. The city enforces code compliance, not private fence disputes.
Private fence disputes are civil matters. The city enforces code compliance for height, permits, and materials only.
