Who owns a fence between two houses?

Both us and our neighbors just moved into our houses in the last year and the fence between our two houses is falling down. They have a dog and I would really like the fence repaired so that the dog doesn't get in our yard but they say that that part of the fence is on our property. I think it is right on the line so shouldn't we both own that section?

It is owned by 1 person. It cant be owned by both. You can usually tell if the previous owner installed the fence by looking at the inside of the fencing vs the opposite side. I recommend that your realtor that helped you purchase, contact the listing agent and ask the seller who does the fence belong to
