Who pays for a new fence on my property border?

You and your neighbour are both responsible for the fence. You should therefore speak to your neighbour about cost and appearance before building, repairing or changing a fence. Council can help you if you do not know who the owner of a neighbouring block is.

If you disagree with your neighbour on fencing, you can go to this website to get advice.
