Neighbor Fence Agreement
A neighbor fence agreement is a contract between adjoining property owners specifying construction, cost allocation, and upkeep of a boundary fence. Use this when replacing a shared fence between residential lots. It documents cost split, height/material choices, contractor selection, and future repair duty.
