Boundary fences are usually built right on the boundary between two properties, and are thus shared. Between two landowners, one way to assign responsibility is to assume half of the fence and the second landowner assume the other half. If the dispute is between a landowner and government property, like a state park, it is the responsibility of the landowner. Even if you purchase land with an
. existing fence, it may still be your responsibility. It's best to have your land surveyed to ensure the fence is truly on the boundary and not on one landowner's property solely. Get more information at www.jddealer.deere.com.
