Did you have a survey completed before installing a fence?

  I'm not sure about a survey, but I know our neighbors called someone (not sure who) to come out and put stakes out to mark the property lines.  You might also want to research to determine if you have any easements on your property.  Usually this means that you need to allow the city/town/whoever access to within 5 feet (or another distance) of the edge of your property line.  If you don't leave this space open, then they are able to destroy/move anything in this area (fences, sheds, playgrounds) to service utilities or whatever else they may be doing.  Obv this is not the official definition, but I know DH looked into this when he built our shed!

  At our previous house we did have a survey before having the fence put in. It's worth the money rather than have it in the wrong spot and have to move it.
