Section 3: Jointly Owned Property Line Fences (for State)
Anchor: #i998981Procedure
Fences between properties are often jointly owned by abutting owners. Negotiators should confirm that interests held are properly reflected in the approved value for each parcel. It is preferable to negotiate simultaneously for both parcels, handling both interests in the jointly owned improvement in the same manner, either by total acquisition or by total owner retention. However, in practice this is often not possible. In these cases, ROW PD shall offer to each adjoining owner one-half of the value of the jointly owned improvements.
