Boundary lines help determine the extent of a property and its legal ownership. Specifically, these lines define a property's physical limits and help prevent conflicts between neighboring property owners.
A boundary line agreement is a legally binding document that sets clear boundaries between neighboring properties, providing certainty and preventing conflicts.
Let's start off with the basic definition of a boundary survey (also known as a property boundary survey). This essential document is used to define the limits of your property legally: this is also called a parcel of land. Before you begin owning and running a property, you need to define what belongs to who.
You and your neighbour can create a 'boundary agreement' to record: the boundary between 2 properties. who's responsible for maintaining a hedge, wall, tree or fence between 2 properties.
Under such an agreement, the parties acknowledge the true boundary line between the properties, and the encroaching owner releases any claim to the strip of land encroached upon. In return, the “encroached upon” owner allows the encroachment to continue for so long as he/she is not adversely affected.
These “side” issues include such matters as resolving substandard access to the public road and meeting bulk zoning regulations such as lot width and area. A Boundary Line Adjustment, then, is an Administrative action by the city or county planning authority. In contrast, a Boundary Line Agreement is a judicial action.
