California Good Neighbor Fence Act

Real estate law

When deciding to fix or replace a property line fence, you need to understand the California Good Neighbor Fence Act. It makes both neighbors equally responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing a property line fence. A key requirement is that you have to notify your neighbor(s). Most people would talk with their neighbor but few would normally follow the steps specified (30 days’ prior written notice to each affected adjoining landowner).
