House fence GA03

Tips and tricks

The height of the common fence between neighbours will be the one provided by the law, the local zoning regulations or local customs. In the absence of these, the law in Romania generally states that the height should be established between neighbours, without exceeding 2 meters.
In Romania, any property owner has the right, not the obligation, to enclose their property.
In the new civil code, however, there is an obligation to enclose related to the common fence between properties, which gives the owner the right to ask the neighbours to contribute to the construction of a common partition. The obligation to enclose is an accessory of the right to acquire co-ownership of the common partition, which is why it loses its validity if one of the neighbours renounces this right. It is important to always check and comply with the local laws and regulations regarding property boundaries and fencing.
