Explanation
An encroachment occurs when a structure or improvement (fence, shed, building overhang) extends onto an adjacent property without authorization. Encroachments can affect title and marketability and should be disclosed. A survey reveals encroachments, and buyers should investigate them — they may require removal, a license, or negotiation of an easement with the neighbor.
