property encroachment

Property encroachment occurs when a person or structure extends onto someone else’s land without permission. This could be a building, fence, or landscaping that crosses the boundary line. Encroachments can cause disputes over property rights and often require resolution through negotiations, permits, or legal action. It's important for landowners to be aware of their property boundaries to prevent unintentional encroachment and to address any existing issues promptly. Surveying and accurate property records help identify and resolve encroachments effectively.
