Boundaries
Property Line Fence Guide
Mining-era maps, hand-stacked monuments, and occupied lines that drifted over decades make property lines contentious in Nevada County. Building fence on the wrong side is expensive to fix—this guide explains when to survey, how shared fences work, and neighbor conversation basics.
When to Get a Survey
New boundary fence, sale closing, or neighbor disagreement—all warrant licensed survey before digging. Old pins may be missing under oak duff on Chicago Park acreage.
Shared Fence Norms
True boundary fence cost often shared when both benefit—discuss facing and height before build. Easements may prohibit fence entirely on utility corridors.
Encroachment Discovery
If survey shows existing fence encroaches, resolve before adding height or new gates—title issues affect resale.
