Here, we do split the cost of putting a minimal required fence with the adjoining land owner, if a fence needs to go up, or replacing one in disrepair. Like John says, take the dispute to the county, have them come out and take a look. The existing fence may be in fine shape, and may not be. One of my fence rows I did eat the total cost, because what I wanted and put up exceded the minimum. My neighbor was happy with the minimum, but allowed me to put in what I wanted, and probably would've picked up a prorated portion. But we're good neighbors, I made the choice, I flipped the bill, and we're still good neighbors. The guy/lady should've worked it out with you ahead of time, instead of just saying this is what I'm going to do, and you're gonna flip half the cost on "my specs", as opposed to what might be minimal requirements, IF the current fence doesn't already meet requirements. Get the county guy to come out and take a look, and get them to issue a documented ruling on it. Large operator huh? Too bad aint some loud mouthed neighbor in some sprawling subdivision that used to be a neighbor's farm on the other side of that fence, cause the hog pen would get relocated. Happened to a friend of mine, and the hog pen did get relocated. Mark
