Scope & Content

Records maintained by the South Danvers/Peabody Fence Viewers.

Contracts state responsibility of each property owner in regards to maintaining fences between land. If a controversy arose between neighbors, the fence viewers were empowered to resolve the issue by dividing responsibility of erecting and maintaining the fence as they saw fit. They would also inspect fences to make sure that they are structurally sound.
