Usually, you and your neighbour will share equally the cost of repairs to any fence between your properties. However, if the fence was damaged because either of you was careless (for instance, by a fire or by trees or structures in poor condition) then the responsible party must pay for repairs. If he or she does not, the other neighbour can do so and may proceed against the responsible party to recover the cost.
