What is the name of your state (WA)? I purchased my home in 1991 and at the time there were two fences. One that that I believe is inside my property line, closer to the house and another that appears to be on what I believe to be the property line. The fence that was where I believe the property line is has fallen and the material removed. The home behind has changed owners three times and each owner knew of the boundaries. The two fences resulted from disputes with the previous owner of my house and back neighbors.
I want to place the fence where I believe the original property. I discussed the issue with the back neighbor and he agreed only to change his mind a week later. He wants me to have the property surveyed and although an expensive undertaking I will do that. My concern has to do with statutes. Is there anything, legal-wise, that would preclude me from placing the fence on the original property line.
