Abstract

Maintaining and replacing fences is an essential part of land and livestock ownership. In most situations, sound relationships with neighbors and a desire to be civil and cooperative make division fences a nonissue. However, disputes can arise when there are differences of opinion on repairing or replacing division fences. Clear cut rules for handling these situations are needed to resolve conflict and settle disputes. Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo) Chapter 272 contains legal guidance for most situations regarding division fences. RSMo refers to the fence separating two adjoining properties as a division fence. Although many farmers and landowners may consider this fence a boundary fence and refer to a division fence as one separating fields, pastures or paddocks owned by the same person, this guide will use the definition of a division fence as established by RSMo 272." -- first page
