FAQ
A boundary line agreement is a legally binding document that sets clear boundaries between neighboring properties, providing certainty and preventing conflicts.
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.
Rezoning & Plan Amendment This process requires an application, public notifications and hearings by the Zoning Commission and City Council. If the property is located within a neighborhood, community or sector plan, a request to rezone property may require a plan amendment.
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.
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) The ETJ is the unincorporated land within five miles of the City of San Antonio boundaries and includes all unincorporated territory that is not located in another city's municipal boundary or ETJ.
Homeowners associations (HOAs) can no longer deny building a fence for security. ing to a state law passed on Texas HOA fence rules in 2021, homeowners anywhere in the state are allowed to put up a perimeter fence for added security along the front, sides and/or back of their property.
Texas has no specific laws regarding fences directly on the boundary line between neighbors, though your city or HOA might have more specific instructions. In general, if it's on your side of the property line, you own it. If it's directly on the property line, then you and your neighbor probably own it jointly.

Smartphones Can Be Valuable Surveying Tools Even when amateurs use dedicated survey equipment, independent results are often less accurate than official measurements. If you have access to a late-model smartphone, you have everything you need to take approximate measurements for an informal survey.
While convenient, the accuracy of smartphones in determining precise property boundaries is limited: GPS accuracy on phones typically ranges, which may not meet the legal standards required for land surveying. Environmental factors like buildings or natural terrain can obstruct GPS signals, affecting accuracy.
