Sharing the cost
For a fence on the boundary between enclosed lots, Louisiana's Civil Code lets an owner compel the neighbor to contribute to the cost. Many neighbors simply agree to split it.
Example
100 feet of 6-foot wood privacy fence along a shared back line: $1,000 to $4,500 at national per-foot rates. Split evenly, each side's share would be half.
