ᐅ Fence Construction / Contact Information of Adjacent Property Owners

Hello everyone,

We built a single-family house on my parents-in-law’s meadow and have been living here for about a year now. Meanwhile, we have made progress with the garden landscaping and are now facing the question of fencing.

Currently, a new residential development is being built adjacent to the back of our property, and three other properties border our plot.

Since we don’t want to or can’t wait for the entire construction phase to finish (young dog…), we were planning to install a chain-link fence. The costs for this would normally be shared, but I only know the owner of one of the three neighboring properties. My question is whether it is possible to split the costs later on? Also, how can I get the contact details of the other property owners?

Thank you in advance.

Whoever wants the fence builds it on their own property (with the required setback from the boundary and otherwise in compliance with local regulations) and pays for it ... it’s that simple.

Unless it is specified by law, regulation, ordinance, or development plan who must install a boundary enclosure (if required).

To keep it simple, I recommend reading the regulations of the state of Lower Saxony on neighborhood law. There, you will find all the claims you can make (currently, unfortunately none at all, since the neighboring plot is undeveloped). So, the only option is the fence on your own property, although the future neighbor could still request a shared boundary fence on the property line.
