Arizona follows common law principles for boundary fences. There is no state law requiring neighbors to share fence costs. In Peoria, the property owner who builds a fence bears the full cost unless a private agreement exists. Many Peoria subdivisions have developer-installed block walls along property lines, and maintenance responsibility may be defined in the HOA CC&Rs. When shared walls exist, both property owners typically share maintenance responsibility. Fence disputes are civil matters.
Boundary encroachment is a civil matter. HOA violations for fence maintenance may result in association fines.
