It's very common to build a fence on your own land, even if your neighbors have a fence?

Like my neighbors have a fence, I have a fence, there is like a 1' alley in between them, everything is on the respective owner's land, and that would definitely work even if your neighbor is the government.

If fence integrity is important, you need your own fence. Otherwise your fence is as good as your least interested neighbor.

It depends. I had fences on several sides of my yard growing up. Nobody doubled up. For the most part, it worked. It seems liked all of the fences had a primary owner who’s attitude was “I have a fence, it doesn’t matter if you have a fence, but I do - so I will pay to maintain my fence”

It worked.
