Boundary issues aren't always dramatic.

Sometimes they're only a few inches.

Fence posts, retaining walls, sheds, and concrete footings can all extend beyond a property line without anyone realizing it.

Small encroachments can become significant once they're discovered.

"We've always used that driveway."

"The neighbour never minded."

A fence.
A shed.
A driveway.

Visual boundaries and legal boundaries aren't always the same thing, and knowing the difference matters.

Search existing property surveys at ProtectYourBoundaries.ca to better understand a property's boundaries.

Really appreciate CityNews highlighting an issue that affects more homeowners than people realize. Property boundaries aren’t something most people think about…until they have to. Happy to be part of the conversation.

Planning a shed, deck, fence, pool, or addition?

Before you build, it's important to understand your property boundaries, easements, setbacks, and any restrictions that could affect your project.

Many homeowners discover these issues after construction has started.

A little research now could save a lot of time, money, and frustration later.

Changes to the property, new structures, altered lot conditions, or updated regulations can all affect whether older documents still meet your needs.
