  • State: Florida

Answer:

The term “encroach,” as it relates to boundary lines, means to trespass upon the property, domain, or rights of another or to advance beyond proper, established, or usual limits onto the property of another.

There is no particular form that would need to be used to provide the notification you seek. A checklist that you might follow in preparing such a notice could be as follows:

1. Names of adjoining landowners.


2. Location and description of adjoining properties.


3. Manner of and extent to which adjoining landowner is encroaching on the rights of the other adjoining landowner.


4. Warning that owner giving notice will hold adjoining owner liable for, or seek an injunction against, any further encroachments if they do not cease.


5. Date of notice.


6. Signature.

A property survey may be conducted for various reasons, such as determining property boundaries for sale, development, or legal disputes. However, surveying someone's property without permission can be considered trespassing. It is generally advisable for surveyors to obtain consent from the property owner beforehand to avoid legal issues.
