Hypothetical-More Info
Fence contractor got job because their price was lower by one side. Makes sense, why have two on (in the vicinity) the same line. But they need to have an agreement about maintanence and who owns what (including the common fence line).
Hypothetical-More Info
In my state the fence would need to be treated as the boundary for 20 years before it could be considered the established boundary and there are other requirements.
I say it’s a good idea to make all parties aware of the location of the boundary markers. I’ve been surprised through the years at some of the calls from folks in new subdivisions that are unaware of their boundary markers. The 1 foot offset is quite common as we all know. UDOT does it. RR’s do it and lots of private owners do it to make sure the fence is on their property. Had a client last year that was going to offset 10 feet so they could be on their land even on the other side of the fence. I told them to make sure the “real” corners are well marked. Always make new owners of adjacent land aware of where the corners are.
I remember, from the old RPLS.com board, someone posting about a municipality in PA, imposing the 2′ law and 4′ wide weed patches every where.
But maybe, as Junior suggests, it didn’t last very long……
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!
