First, you must determine whether your state subscribes to the legal doctrine of "adverse possession." This can easily be determined by calling a real estate lawyer--I would choose one who gives "free consultations." If the answer is yes, then you will need to initiate a lawsuit to quiet title to the building and land through the theory of adverse possession. In sum, if your state has adverse possession, your neighbors have no case.
If you can prove that you built the building for yourself, yes. If you built the building for your parents, then the building still belongs to them.
A building line is a distance from the street or edge of your lot that you cannot build in. A building line can be in the front, side and rear yards. You can find building lines by looking at your property survey or the title policy you received when you purchased the property. For example, if you see a line running accross the front yard on your survey that says building line, you cannot build between that line and the street in front of your property. You can only get permission from your local municipality to build beyond the building line if the municipality was the body who placed building lines on your property. If your developer created the building line when he filed the plat of subdivision with the county, and your neighbors have not violated the building line, then most likely you will not be able to build beyond that line.
A building line is a designated boundary on a property where a structure can be built. It usually determines how close to the edge of the property a building can be constructed to ensure setbacks are maintained for safety, aesthetics, and regulations. Each municipality may have specific requirements for building lines.

The library's building was built is correct.
Personally, I don't believe they can be enforced. Built a home on an acre lot but it was between the Hatfields and the McCoys. I'll leave it at that ,but the laws can not be enforced when your neighbors have nothing else to do.
A building line refers to a specified distance from the sides of the lot that shows where a given building should be built. It is very important because it provides a specified distance that a building should be from a given property.
Real property is land and anything attached to it that cannot be severed without injury to the land such as homes, garages and other buildings. Personal property is any movable or intangible thing that is subject to ownership and is not considered real property. Building materials stored on a building lot would be personal property. Once the house is built it becomes part of the real property. Fixtures in a building sit on the line between real and personal property. You can read more about that distinction at the link below.

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.
It was built in 1889.
