How can I find out exactly where the border of the neighboring property is?

It is best to look at the study plans at the land registry office. Boundary markings such as stones or crosses can also be seen. Danger: If these are contrary to the deed plans, the plans are considered correct.

An elderberry tree grows on our border. who is the owner

The shrub is basically considered a border plant if the branches are sticking out of the ground on both sides. It means it belongs to both of you and you need to take care of it together. The situation is different if it can be proven that it belongs to only one. The same applies to boundary walls, fences or fences: common ownership is assumed.

My neighbor wants to grow out his hair. How close can it get to the border?

Depends on where you live – regulations vary. Best to ask the building authority. If the neighbor does not keep the distance, you can defend yourself by objecting. If you agree, you can also grant the stitch rights. Write in a contract what you will get in return – it could be money or the right to build a sewing machine. Have the contract notarized.

My house is very close to the border – it has been for ten years. Do I need to rebuild it?

Not necessarily. Neighbor can basically insist on distances. Whether it will be successful is another question. Because if you’ve built very close in good faith and the circumstances justify it, the court may grant you a closer build. But then you owe the neighbor compensation. It is best to try to reach an agreement outside of court, for example by giving it a mutual right.

How close can I plant my thuja hedge to the borders?

This varies from canton to canton. You will usually find provisions regarding border distances in the Civil Code entry code – best to look there or inside advisor. Measure the distance from the boundary line to the center of the trunk. By the way, fruit trees can be planted in many places on the border.

What can I do if a plant is too close to the border?

Then you can ask your neighbor to remove the plant, at least as long as your request hasn’t expired yet. Regulations regarding this vary from canton to canton.

It rained so heavily that part of my lawn slipped over my neighbor. Did that change the limit too?

No, the borderline has not fundamentally changed. However, if the limit has become inappropriate as a result – for example, it zigzags – you can request that it be redefined. If your property suddenly becomes less valuable as a result, your neighbor will have to compensate you for it.

My neighbor dug a boundary stone because it was bothering him. Is it allowed?

NO. If he seeks to benefit or harm you by doing so, he is even open to prosecution and is punishable by fines or imprisonment for up to three years.
