fence disputes
Property line conflicts
Fence disputes are conflicts between neighboring property owners over boundary fences—their placement, maintenance, cost, or condition.
These disagreements rank among the most common sources of neighbor friction, often escalating from minor irritations to legal battles: The fence dispute dragged on for three years.
The term extends to any boundary-related quarrel, though fences remain the typical flashpoint.
