Provo follows Utah's general property law for shared fences. Fences must be within the owner's property. Disputes over shared boundary fences are governed by Utah Code §17-15-3 (fence viewers). No specific cost-sharing ordinance in Provo city code.
Provo does not have a specific ordinance mandating shared fence cost-splitting between neighbors. Utah Code §17-15-3 establishes county fence viewers who can arbitrate fence disputes. Property owners must ensure fences are located on their own property or with written neighbor consent for shared boundary placement. Encroachments onto public rights-of-way require city approval. Fences must not obstruct sight lines at intersections per §14.34.100 (clear vision area). Disputes between neighbors about fence placement, condition, or cost are primarily civil matters handled through Utah courts or mediation.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. HOA violations per CC&Rs.
