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.

What is the law on connecting to your neighbors fence?

You have to have their permission to connect to their fence. Usually, fences are constructed inside of the lot line, so there is some importance to what they choose to allow. In the best case scenario, you would have shared the cost of the first fence and connection is not an issue. If they do not agree, then you can build up to your property line, without a permanent connector.

In NJ and fence separated your home from unkept wooded property for over 25 years Now land is being built on and part of your land is really theirs and vice-versa Can they make you move a fence that d?

First of all, definite ownership needs to be established. There needs to be someone who can locate the pins in the property and declare the exact property line. This can be a surveyor also. If you have built on their lot or they have built on yours, you can get the county government involved to make someone move it off your property.


You have maintained 3ft of property over your lot line which extends to private golf course for 13 yrs you now want to fence our property to include this extra property?

If you are planning to take land from the golf course by adverse possession you may need to start counting from the time you install the fence. Sneaking over by three feet with your lawnmower may not meet the requirement of actual, open, visable, hostile and notorious use. You should seek the advice of an attorney.

Do you measure property from the utility line or the building line?

you need to read the deed description carefully to determine where the property lines are. A building line is generally not a property line. As for the utility easement area, your property may run up to the easement line or the easement may be on your property. If you do not understand the description in your deed you should contact the attorney who represented you at the time of purchase and ask her to review the deed with you. There may be a survey of your property recorded in the land records. You could also take your deed with you to the town assessor's office where you may be able to obtain a copy of the assessor's map that shows the location and dimensions of your lot.


Is it legal to cross a solid white line in an apartment parking lot?

It depends. If the parking lot is private property, normal traffic laws are not enforceable, so, legally, you can do whatever you want. If the parking lot is public property, then traffic laws apply, and you should obey them. That said, a solid white line is NOT a restriction under normal traffic laws; rather it is an advisory indicator. So, crossing a solid white line is technically legal even on public property.
