Q: Property line disputes. Error on survey.
21 years ago I had a survey done on my property. 15 years ago state of Illinois took property from the entire block for road improvement (I live on a state highway). New owner next door insists my driveway is on his property and has delivery trucks use it, has started cutting my trees and burning my grass. I took the survey that the state gave me to the original survayer today and there is major differences. I am aware I lost length but not width of my property. The state survey has put my driveway on the neighbors property according to the survey company. I will have another survey. Meanwhile I believe this is not a usual real estate issue. Please advise what can I do? The neighbor owns multiple properties in town and is well known for unsavory doings. When we discovered that he was burning the grass along the tree lines where the "property lines" has always been in the past we put up 5 "no tresspassing" signs & discovered today that they were all removed.
A: When the original survey was done, weren't pins put in.
