Hi, I’m Shelly with Cardinal Serving!
Today, I want to talk about an important topic — properties that back to or share boundaries with municipalities, common ground, or other non-private land. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that what looks like their land might not actually be theirs to maintain or modify. In this video, I’ll walk you through a real-life example — this pie-shaped property right in the middle — and explain how to tell what land you truly own, what belongs to the city or HOA, and how to avoid confusion (and potential disputes) with your neighbors.
If you’ve ever wondered where your property ends and public or common ground begins, this video is for you!
📏 Topics Covered:
- How to identify your true property boundaries
- What to know when your lot backs to common ground or municipal land
- Common misconceptions about property ownership
- Why accurate surveying matters
