Town Right of Way

Do you know where your property line is? Many property owners believe their property begins where their lawn meets the road, but the Town's right-of-way extends a distance beyond the edge of the pavement. In most cases, property line issues come to light when a property owner tries to erect a fence, stone wall, or basketball hoop on what they believe is their property. Physical obstructions in the Town's right-of-way (with the exception of utility poles, Town signs, mailboxes, etc.) are prohibited.
