Property Boundary Lines (Lot Lines) – This is not a zoning issue. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to locate their lot lines. Boundary disputes are personal legal matters and not within the jurisdiction of the municipality. Permits are approved for the general location only. It is the sole responsibility of the homeowner/contractor to locate their property lines.
