"If you talk to 10 people, you'll get 10 different opinions about who should pay for the ; The advantage gained by the owner of property on either side of the fence is important in deciding the ownership of a fence. When two owners decide to erect a fence to their mutual advantage, they must pay equally the cost of building, repairing and maintaining the fence, the act states. If one owner decides to erect a fence for his own purposes, but it will serve no function for the adjoining owner, he must bear the cost alone. However, if the neighbor at a later date gains advantage from the fence's existence (for example, to pasture livestock) the cost must be shared. The cost to be shared, Mr. Link points out, is not the original cost of the fence, but the present value, and any subsequent repair and maintenance costs. -(conf) - /dlberra AGRICULTURE Phone (403) 427-2127 COMMUNICATIONS.
