Property Ownership

In Wyoming, an encroachment occurs when:

AA property owner builds too close to a highway
BA structure or improvement extends beyond the owner's property line onto adjacent land✓ Correct
CA neighbor plants trees on a property line
DA government agency places a lien on a property

Explanation

An encroachment is the unauthorized physical intrusion of one owner's improvement onto another's property—for example, a fence, building, or driveway that extends past the property line. Encroachments create title issues and may ripen into easements or even adverse possession claims.
