An encroachment is anything that extends over the property line on to a neighboring property. It could be as simple as a bush or fence but could also be part of the house or garage or part of a pool. Some encroachments are not a big deal while others are very much of a problem.

Even if all involved owners agree to leave the encroachment, it could cause problems with title insurance. If it's severe, it may keep the title company from issuing title insurance or they could possibly delete coverage for anything involving that issue.

In one home I owned years ago the neighbor's tree branches grew over the fence creating so much shade it killed our grass, we got neighbors permission to trim the branches back to the fence line . After doing so our grass grew back the next season but in less than a year the tree died! Some encroachments a create a multitude of problems between neighbors.
