Your neighbor generally has limited rights regarding actions on their side of the fence. They can maintain their property, which may include trimming branches or roots that encroach onto their side, but they cannot damage or alter the fence without your permission. If there are disputes about property lines or maintenance responsibilities, it's best to communicate openly and refer to local laws or agreements. Always consult local regulations to understand specific rights and responsibilities regarding fences.

The law requires that the best side (the side without all the wooden posts showing) be towards the neighbor. it makes no difference if they are paying half, because the law requires that the owner of the fence follow the law. in other words, the fence is on your land, and therefore, the best side must be towards the neighbor. The law protects not only the neighbor, but future buyers of your neighbor's property.
Can neighbor use fence on your property?
If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.

Can you paint a neighbor's wall on your side?
Perhaps you have mixed up your words in your question. It makes sense if read as, "If you painted your side of your neighbor's wood fence can the neighbor make you replace it with a new wood fence?" If that is the case, you had no right to paint your neighbor's fence without their permission and the answer to your question is they can sue you in court for damaging their property.If they sue you in court and prevail, they have the right to be restored to the position they were in before you damaged their property. If the fence is new the court may award enough damages to cover a new fence. If the fence is older, the court may pro-rate the value. While your neighbor cannot make you replace the fence, the court can and you may have the added burden of legal expenses. You should try to negotiate a friendly agreement to resolve the issue either by repainting the fence to please your neighbor or perhaps offering to share the cost of a new fence.As a lifetime lesson, it is more prudent to let the neighbor know your intentions, even if it is your side of the fence, or if you think you are doing them a favor.
