One of my clients in Portland encountered a property line dispute with a neighbor. Fortunately, a land surveyor was able to help resolve the issue.
My client, Alex, who owned a beautiful house in Portland where he worked and lived along with his family. During weekends, they head to their cozy home in the Yaquina Bay area.
One day, the family decided to improve their backyard and plant trees along the edge of their property. They believed that these trees were planted on their land, creating a natural barrier between their yard and their neighboring property.
However, their neighbor approached them and claimed that the trees they planted were on his property. He asked Alex to remove the newly planted trees. They were taken aback by this revelation. All the while they thought that the trees were planted within their property without encroaching onto their neighbor’s property.
This resulted in property line dispute where the neighbors disagreed on the exact location of property boundaries. Alex and his family decided to conduct a boundary survey to settle the dispute.
We referred them to Portland Land Surveyors, which is an accurate property survey company based in Portland, OR. The surveyor made a meticulous study of the land and identified where the property lines are located. The survey showed that the trees were indeed on Alex’s property, supporting his initial belief. Armed with this evidence, the neighbor had no choice but to accept the survey’s findings.
Alex then decided to put a fence around their land for their privacy. They knew the importance of the land survey, so they knew where to legally build the fence within their property.
Their boundary survey from Portland Land Surveyors was valuable to use as a survey for a fence. This type of survey helps determine where exactly the property lines are located, ensuring that the fence is constructed within the legally designated boundaries. The land surveyor staked the exact locations of the property lines. Using those construction stakes, the fence posts were erected without encroaching onto any neighboring properties.
The successful completion of the fence survey helped enhance their relationship with their neighbors. The clear boundary lines created a sense of ease and trust, allowing them to build a friendship with the neighbors that they otherwise might not have had the opportunity to cultivate.
The importance of a boundary survey cannot be understated. Alex and his family experienced firsthand how a simple act of planting trees led to a property line dispute. By engaging the services of a professional surveyor from Portland Land Surveyors, they were able to resolve the issue decisively. The survey not only proved the rightful ownership of the trees but also enabled them to construct a fence without any encroachment. Ultimately, the boundary survey helped create a harmonious relationship with their neighbors and solidified their sense of security and privacy in their beloved weekend home in Yaquina Bay.
