What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law gives the occupants of adjacent properties equal responsibility to

build and maintain a partition fence between the properties if one or both of the

occupants use the property for farming or grazing, unless the occupants agree to a

different arrangement.

This bill narrows the applicability of the law relating to partition fences so that

occupants of adjacent properties have equal responsibility to build and maintain a

partition fence only if both of the adjacent properties are used for grazing or keeping

livestock.
