What Is a Boundary Dispute?
A boundary dispute occurs when two or more property owners disagree about where a property line is located or how land near the boundary may be used.
These disputes may arise from unclear property descriptions, outdated surveys, conflicting property records, or structures built near or across property lines.
Resolving a boundary dispute often involves reviewing property deeds, surveys, and other records that define the legal boundaries of the property.

- Disagreements about the location of property lines
- Fence placement along property boundaries
- Driveways or structures crossing property lines
