If the fence is on the property line, it is owned 1/2 by each property owner. If it is on one side or the other, it belongs to the guy on that side. To answer the question, you need to have a survey done to mark out the property line. I would advise that you plant a tree to block your view of their offensive sign that they put up, presumably on their own property. Or ask them to please remove it. Or build a taller "spite fence".

Mr. Ilmanen has given you fine advice. I'd only add, it could vary from state to state and your post doesn't specify where you/the fence is
