FAQ
What is a boundary?
A boundary is also known as a property line. The boundary marks the limits of an area of real property. If you are not certain where your boundary lines are of the property, the best move would be to hire a surveyor to check and redraw the boundary lines of the property. This will help keep the peace with your neighbors.
What is a setback?
Some structures are required to be built at a specified distance from a boundary line or from a public space, such as a sidewalk or street. These requirements are often referred to as "setback" requirements. Setback requirements can also be created by deed restrictions or covenants. It is important to know any setback restrictions which affect your property before engaging in any construction activities or erecting any structures such as fences, sheds, or garages. If you are uncertain of what setback requirements might affect your property, you should consult with an attorney experienced with such matters.

- To give other properties access to essential services like water or electricity.
