On the other hand, I generally dislike the idea of not putting fences on the property line as it just seems to lend itself to confusion about where. Jan 03, 2006  Wooden privacy fences - Install on property line or inside property line? Thread starter iamwiz82; Start date Jan 3. So I'd like to just keep the old fences there and put the new one just inside of the property line. Is this ok to do or will I be pissing off everyone? Thats what i did to one of my neighbors.he had a fence about 6' of.

A question that always comes up is how to find the property lines. If you are in a new subdivision, the pins should be relatively easy to find.

The Pedrollo Easypress is an economic, user friendly, quality product for water pump control. The Easypress is the base control unit which requires one to determine the differential swithch on and off pressure when ordering as the units are standard factory set. Turn tap off and the pump unit also turns off. If one requires the freedom to determine the activation and deactivation pressures then select the Easypress Pro.

Check your plot map of your property and it should show where pins were placed. The pins are 5/8” rebar pounded in the ground 2’.

The top is covered with normally a yellow or orange cap. On the cap is the surveyor name and the license number of the person who set the pin. If you can only find one pin, measure to approximate locations and grab a shovel. Sometimes a metal detector helps. If you are in an older area and you can’t find the property pins, there are two ways to determine location.

If there is already a fence there, that’s the property line. After 10 years, the fence line becomes the property line. If not, then you can call a surveyor, they’ll figure a price, and then you can decide if it’s worth the cost. The surveyor can install a steel pin or a wood stake. As far as the fence, our standard is to run a string line on the property line and hold in 6”. That way there is no question whose side it’s on. Also, since we set our posts in concrete, if the edge of the post is in 6” from the line, then the diameter of the concrete is safely on your side.

Even if the fence is to be shared, a good rule of thumb is to hold it to one side or the other.

There are several reasons you need to know how to find property lines. Understanding the boundaries of your property is important if you plan to erect a or add an addition to your home. The last thing you want to do is spend time and money only to upset neighbors, have to tear down a fence, or risk a costly lawsuit. Other reasons you may want to confirm your property lines include determining whose responsibility it is to remove a tree, where you can legally plant a hedge as a border, or if one already exists, whose job it is to maintain it. Doing your homework thoroughly, before you start, is sensible if you want to avoid mistakes. Here’s a guide that shows you how to find property lines, step-by-step.

Step 1 – Existing Documents – Your Deed Start off by digging out as much existing documentation as you can lay your hands on. If you have the deed for your property, that’s a good place to begin. Your property deed has a section entitled “legal description” where your property lines are described in words, most likely using the “metes and bounds” surveying system. At first glance, the metes and bounds system may seem a little complicated, but it’s actually quite straightforward.

The system works by describing your property lines using a bearing and a distance. For example, it might give a starting point (road fork, boulder, tree) then direction N26W, then a distance, 327 feet to an iron pin, followed by another direction and distance.

You can work out your property lines by following your property deed and using a compass and a tape measure. Step 2 – Existing Documents – Your Plat An even better and more accurate source of information is a surveyor’s map, also called a “plat”. It may be with your deed, but it may not.

In that case, you’ll have to find it. To find the plat for your property, try checking in city or county records at the clerk’s or surveyor’s offices. Another potential source is the former owner of your property who may just be holding on to a copy. The reason a plat is a much more accurate document than a deed is that it doesn’t just contain a description of your property lines, it also contains accurate diagrams. These diagrams may also reference fixed landmarks and accurate triangulation data to help you. Step 3 – Check Your Boundaries for Physical Markers Depending on where you live (city, urban, rural), and the extent to which surrounding properties have already been developed, you may be able to get clues to your property lines from markers such as iron pins, concrete markers, existing fences, street lights, hedges etc. TIP: be aware that markers such as iron pins may have been moved, for example, during tree removal or excavation.
