The problem is that if there is some ambiguity in the location of a property line, a company that does surveying will have to come out and settle it. And there is a cost associated with this service. Additionally, there is a separate charge for taking this "official" measurement to the county offices and setting it down in county records - if there isn't one already done and marks set where you can use them. Call a local surveyor and ask for the details and costs. They handle this stuff all the time, and they'll spend a couple of minutes on the phone with you for free. Step up before the problem becomes a "real" problem and a feud erupts. Stay calm and cool. You have to live next door to neighbors for as long as either they or you are around. Best of luck sorting this out.

First, you must discuss it with your abutter. You could also ask your other neighbors if they remember who installed it, or the person from whom you purchased the property.

In many localities, fences may be constructed on the property line. Therefore, it may belong to either party but someone usually knows the answer. If you want to remove or replace the fence and your neighbor objects you may need to consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain your options.

When does a fence become a property lot line?

If the fence is on the legal, surveyed property line, then the line is official immediately.If the fence is not on the legal, surveyed property line, your state's doctrine of mutual acquiescence will determine if and when the fence will become the line. A real estate attorney in your area will be able to tell if you have a legitimate mutual acquiescence claim.


If your neighbor and you have a common fence face-interchanging sides separated by a 4 inch wood between the sides is it legal to put a 3 inch high net over your fence on this 4 inch wood?

Depends on who owns the fence, i.e. whose property it is on or who bought it in the first place. Often one person installs a fence (maybe 3 owners ago) then allows the neighbor to install wood on their side of the owners fence. This wood is the owners wood but people do it cause it is cheaper than installing a second fence on their own property. If you own the fence (its on your property) then you can do whatever you want including tear it down. If it is on their property they can tell you what you can or can't do. The best thing is to go to the neighbor and actually talk with them about what you'd like to do.
