adjoining landowners

Adjoining landowners are owners of land with common boundaries, and have mutual rights, duties, and obligations related to their adjoining pieces of land.

In Idaho, adjoining landowners, also known as adjacent or contiguous property owners, have certain rights and responsibilities concerning their shared property boundaries. These include maintaining boundary lines, managing shared resources like fences or driveways, and not causing harm to the neighboring property. Idaho law requires landowners to respect the property lines and rights of their neighbors. For instance, Idaho Code § 35-103 addresses the mutual obligation of landowners to maintain boundary fences. Disputes between adjoining landowners over boundaries or shared resources are often resolved through negotiation, but they can also lead to legal action if an agreement cannot be reached. It is advisable for landowners to be aware of their rights and obligations and to communicate with their neighbors to prevent disputes. If a dispute arises that cannot be resolved amicably, an attorney can provide guidance on the legal remedies available under Idaho law.
