Fences must be built on or inside the property owner's lot. Neighbor notification is recommended but not required. Disputes over boundary fences may involve the Utah fence line law.
Spanish Fork does not require formal neighbor notification before fence installation, but disputes about fence location should be resolved using a property survey. Utah Code Β§72-5-103 governs 'partition fences' between adjoining landowners, which may require cost-sharing for boundary fences. Fences must be maintained in good condition to avoid nuisance violations. Multi-family residential interior fencing is limited to encourage shared open space and pedestrian access; private fencing in multi-family projects is permitted only when it extends directly from the unit to delineate private from common space.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. HOA violations per CC&Rs.
