Dear TZ - What are the Boundaries to my Property?

Dear TZ,

Is the fence the boundary between my property and my neighbor's?

- Border Billy

Dear Billy,

 If you think a neighbor is encroaching on your land, please act quickly. If you allow them to put a fence or structure, or even a garden, or your property, you may in fact be losing the rights to that property in the future.

The deed to your home will contain a description of your property, including its measurements. Then, you can measure from the landmarks, such as your house, to the property lines.

You can also acquire a map showing your property lines at the county recorder's office and the assessor's office in your area.

If you need a more exact determination, you will need to hire a licensed land surveyor. They can place official markers on your boundary lines.

Good luck!
