Boundaries
Shared Fence & Property Line Guide
Granite Bay lots often share long boundary lines with neighbors — sometimes hundreds of feet where a single fence run defines the property edge. This guide covers when to get a survey, how shared-fence cost norms work, and how to coordinate before posts go in on granite or sloped ground.
When to Get a Survey
A new boundary fence, a home sale, or any disagreement about where the line falls warrants a licensed survey before digging. Original parcel pins can be buried under landscaping on older estate lots.
Shared Fence Norms
True shared boundary fences are often cost-split when both sides benefit — discuss facing direction, height, and material before construction, since one side typically sees the finished face.
Encroachment and Easements
Utility, drainage, and trail easements appear on many Granite Bay parcels — especially near open space and lake access. An existing fence slightly off the surveyed line should be resolved before adding height or new gates.
Frequently asked questions
Can I build a fence slightly inside my own line?
Yes — you retain access to your side, though it can leave an unmaintained strip if your neighbor doesn't mirror the setback.
What if my neighbor's fence is on my side of the line?
Document with a survey; longstanding encroachment disputes are a legal matter beyond fence installation scope.
Do easements affect where I can build?
Yes — recorded easements may restrict or prohibit fencing in specific strips. We review layout against survey notes before finalizing post placement.
