Boundary Line Agreements for Property Disputes
At C.P. Land Surveying, we specialize in creating Boundary Line Agreements to resolve property line disputes and encroachments. If a boundary survey reveals conflicts between neighboring properties, we help landowners find a permanent, legal solution.
Why Are Boundary Line Agreements Necessary?
When a boundary survey identifies property line conflicts, such as encroachments from fences, walls, driveways, or buildings, adjoining landowners may need a formal Boundary Line Agreement. This agreement ensures both parties can agree on an alternate property line without legal disputes.
How Does a Boundary Line Agreement Work?
A Boundary Line Agreement legally changes the property lines between two landowners. Here’s the process:
- Survey & Conflict Identification: A surveyor examines the original property boundaries and identifies any encroachments or conflicts.
- Establishing a New Line: The landowners agree on a new boundary, which can be based on existing features like fences or buildings or another mutually agreed-upon location.
- Preparation & Signing: The surveyor drafts the new boundary dimensions, and the agreement is signed by both landowners.
- Legal Recording: Once signed, the agreement is recorded, permanently adjusting the property lines.

Boundary Line Agreements
When a boundary survey is performed, occasionally conflicts arise pertaining to the location of a property line, or there is an encroachment of improvements over a property line. In this case, adjoining landowners may choose to solve the issue by creating an easement or boundary line agreement.
A boundary line agreement will allow adjoining landowners to accept an alternate line as their common boundary. This line can be determined by the location of existing features (i.e. A fence, wall, road, driveway or building) or another agreed upon location. The boundary line agreement is prepared by a surveyor who will first describe the original dimensions of the both subject properties and then describe the new boundary line. These documents are signed by both landowners and once they are recorded, will permanently change the location of the affected property line.
