Who is responsible for fence repair/replacement between neighbors?

This is an age-old question.  LEGALLY, whoever’s land the fence posts are on is responsible.  However, we live in a more relaxed neighborhood.  The fence has two sides, and is an HOA CC&R requirement.  Typically, the fence costs should be split equally.  Whoever is actually contracting the work will more than likely get the “good side” preference.  It would be good to offer a 55/45 or 60/40 split and pay a little more if you prefer the “good side.”  If you both cannot agree as to who gets the “good side” you may either alternate between every fence post, or pay extra to have 2 “good sides”
