What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I bought an existing home in 1997 with the back yard fenced in and a shed in the corner, inside the fence. The home is the last house in a cul de sac, with a river behind it, so the adjacent wooded land belongs to the town (most likely)
At the closing the survey showed that some of the fence, and the entire shed, lies outside the property line.
I would like to know what my rights are over this piece of land and whether I have a legal right to it. I want to do an addition now, and the town has denied me for setback reasons, but has made note of the offending fence and/shed.
Thanks.
