A boundary line agreement is a legally binding document that sets clear boundaries between neighboring properties, providing certainty and preventing conflicts.
If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed. The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added.
A boundary line agreement is a written document between abutting landowners which first identifies their common boundary as being “ambiguous”, “lost” or “uncertain” and secondly describes an agreed to boundary line that is certain.
Be calm, firm, and clear about what you need. Have clear and reasonable consequences for crossing a boundary. If someone has a habit of talking over you, for example, you could say, “I feel disrespected when you talk over me. If you do that again, I'll have to end the conversation.”
Every person has the right to change their mind about what their boundaries are at any time. What's important is that you're communicating any boundary changes to your partner and you're making changes because YOU want to, not because you're being pressured, forced or manipulated into making them.
The Boundary Line Agreement (BL AGR) provides a procedure for County review whenever a point or line determining the boundary between two or more parcels of real property cannot be identified from the existing public record, monuments, and landmarks or is in dispute. RCW 58.04.
You can adjust these boundaries by using the 'Modify' tab, where you can find tools like 'Move', 'Resize', and 'Align'. Using the 'Move' tool allows you to click and drag the room boundary lines to your desired location. If you want to adjust multiple boundaries at once, hold down the 'Ctrl' key while selecting them.
