Which owner has the responsibility to repair the fence?
A:
This is a tricky question, but we’re here to help! The street- facing portion of the fence is the homeowner’s responsibility. If the fence is shared with a neighbor, it is considered joint ownership, and you should work directly with your neighbor to make plans to repair the fence. If your backyard fence is on the perimeter community and is not shared, it is generally the homeowner’s responsibility. You can contact your community manager directly to be sure your community does not make perimeter fencing repairs.
Before making any repairs, please remember to submit an ACC Request.
