In Greeley, fences on a common lot line must sit on the property line or at least three feet from it, and the finished side must face the neighbor. Weld County sets no such rule for unincorporated land.
Greeley Development Code Sec. 24-502 governs fences on shared boundaries: a fence along a common lot line must be placed on the property line or at least three feet inside it, and any area set back three feet or more that could become enclosed by neighboring fences must include a gate for access and maintenance. The finished side of the fence must face the adjacent property or public space. Weld County's zoning code excludes fences from its regulations, so on unincorporated land placement is a private-property matter governed by Colorado civil law, deed lines, and any recorded easements — not a county ordinance. Confirm boundaries with a survey before building.
Greeley can require correction of a misplaced or improperly-faced fence. Boundary disputes between neighbors are private civil matters resolved under Colorado law, not county enforcement.
