Re: border disputes
Under New York law, a property owner may erect a fence provided it is on his or her property. In order to erect a fence which is on the property line, the owner must obtain an easement from the adjoining property owner granting him the right to erect the fence on the adjoining property owner's property. This easement should then be recorded in the land records of the appropriate County Clerk's office.

Read your town or village building or zoning code. Usually, it is put up some distance in from the lot line unless both owners consent.
