Property Lines

[homealone]

I am having some problems with the next door neighbors. They keep claiming that their property line is one place then a couple of months later it moves again.

Can anyone tell me who to contact to find out exactly where the property line is. I am going to need to have this taken care of before I am able to start doing some of the projects that I have been wanting to do.

I don't like putting things on hold, but it doesn't appear that I am going to have a choice.

I don't know why people seem to want to do these things. It just makes life more difficult for those around them. I really dislike people when they wanna play petty games!!

Mind you that they have not had the property surveyed or anything like that. They just keep moving this little wooden marker that is supposed to mark the property lines. This is why we need to get it really checked out, I am not going to play games.

If you live in a subdivision it probably has been surveyed and if so you can probably get a surveyor to com out and find the orginal pins from when the subdivision was started. If not in a subdivision then you will have to get a survey done. Thats the only way to stop your problem.

I think you can go to the courthouse and typically get a diagram (theres a word for it but my mind is drawing a blank ) that shows the property lines and it usually has indicators that you can use to find your property line. I am sure there is a cost involved but I don't think it is much.

We actually did this for our property years ago but I can't remember the details. I know we got it from the county courthouse.

Here is some information that backs up what realestatehound suggested to you:

To accurately determine a property’s boundaries, it is best to hire a land surveyor. The City does not locate property boundaries in the field for residents.

A survey will locate existing property corners or set new survey pins/property markers. Property markers/survey pins typically are iron pipes a half-inch in diameter and 18 inches in length. Sometimes they are topped with a plastic cap identifying the surveyor’s license number. They usually are not exposed and are found several inches below the surface.

I will have to get something done and fast. Just in the last few days I guess they have added yet another marker which is even closer to my other halfs home. This is really starting to get on my nerves so I need to get it taken care of as quickly as possible.

I think we will just have the property surveyed, then there won't be any questions on the property lines. I am tired of playing games with these people.

I know they are in the process of building a storage shed on their property and they are wanting to make it larger than their property will allow. This is why I think they are playing these games. Hopefully soon it will be game over!!
