You must hire a registered land surveyor who can confirm your property lines and set iron pins to mark them. If your neighbor's fence extends over the property line then send them a certified letter asking that it be removed. If they refuse then you will need to sue them in court. Make certain to obtain a certified copy of the survey as your evidence and a copy of the certified letter along with the green card to prove it was delivered. This is very important: you should arrange to take photographs of the surveyor placing the iron pins marking the boundary with your neighbor. Ask if they have some bright orange plastic tape to tie at the top end or get some yourself so the pins will show up well in the photos. People who try to encroach on the property of their neighbors will often move or remove boundary markers. Make certain you have photographic proof of where the pins are set. A picture is worth a thousand words. You may need those photos for evidence if the dispute ends up in court. You must pursue this action in order to assert your property rights and prevent a claim of adverse possession.

What if your driveway and neighbors driveway are together Neighbor parks as close to the edge as possible so I cannot get in or out of my vehicle?
it might be wise to order a 'survey' to determine exactly where the property lines are and determine if there are any encroachments by you or your neighbor. surveys cost roughly $250 - $300.
What is encroachment on property?
An encroachment is an infringement on someone else's rights or intrusion on another person's property. It is most often used when describing real property such as the corner of an neighbor's garage that extends over the property line or a driveway that gradually grew over the property line and is now partly on your neighbor's land. Encroachments are often caused by surveyor error in placing the pins marking the boundaries in a subdivision and the party who built their swimming pool partly on their neighbor's land was not at fault.
Does neighbor have right to park at end of shared driveway in Harris county Texas?
No, assuming that it is, in fact, a shared driveway (see your deeds), neither neighbor has the right to obstruct the right of way. You can only park within your property lines; you cannot park so as to lie within the other neighbor's property. I had the same issue with my property, but later found out the driveway wasn't actually shared (it belonged to me!).
Can your neighbor stop you from parking your vehicle on a common asphalt driveway if you own the property?
Yes, if you are blocking your neighbor's free access or causing any inconvenience. Even if you own the property you own it subject to your neighbor's right to use it. Neither one of you can park on the driveway so as to block the other party.
Neighbor is putting up a chain link fence 2 foot over in your driveway Its his property line but hasn't maintained the driveway can he do that?
If its on his property line and there is no easement then the only thing you can do about it is flip him the bird when he drives by.
Our house was built 2.5 years ago and our neighbor's house was done 2 years ago About 1 year ago our neighbors had a survey done and found out their driveway goes through our property What do we do?
There is a range of possibilities, depending on how long you plan to stay and whether or not you want to be friendly with your neighbors: * You can sell them the land under the driveway, which could also allow them to tear out the driveway and put in something worse, * sell them an easement to use that part of your property to cross your land, which also means it can be used as a driveway forever, * license this particular owner to use the driveway (or the driveway easement) either annually, or until they sell the house or remove the driveway, * ask them to move their driveway, or * sue them for trespass and force them to move the driveway. Whatever you do, put it into writing and have a local real estate attorney review it for you. If you completely ignore the problem, it will not go away, and the longer you wait, the more rights the neighbors may have (laches, estoppel, easement by prescription, adverse possession).

Are you at fault if you hit a pedestrian backing down your driveway on your property?
Pedestrians have the right of way. Unless you can prove he/she was grosely negligent or did it on purpose then you are at fault. If you are backing down on your private driveway and a neighbor who walks behind your car on your private driveway is hit and falls down who is at fault? The neighbor pedestrian has been drinking, unstable on his feet was standing in his driveway at his car then suddenly is behind my vehicle.
Can you have your neighbor's car towed away if she parks in your driveway?
In practice this is very difficult to do anything about. I know because it happened to me. The police weren't interested unless any damage was done to the property, and the council weren't interested unless the pavement was being blocked. Similarly, I am a lawyer and my litigation colleagues said there was pretty much nothing I could do about it except stick a sticker in the window asking them not to park there.Another PerspectiveIt must depend on your jurisdiction. If a car blocks your driveway, preventing you from accessing it, the car can and will be towed by the local police and a citation will be issued. Most municipalities in the United States have town and city ordinances regarding how close a driver can park to a driveway. For example, there is a five foot limit locally. The police are happy to oblige when a property owner complains. If the car is parked on private property it certainly can be towed. If you are the owner of property no one else has the right to park their car in your driveway unless you have given them permission.
