When you think of the word encroachment you think of somebody stepping over a line from their side on to yours. An encroachment is the physical intrusion of a structure or improvement on the land of another.
Examples can also include a fence or driveway over the property line. Remember your property line extends upwards to the sky therefore a tree hanging over on to your property is encroachment as well. An encroachment can be found by a survey. It is a form of trespass, therefore when an encroachment occurs you may be able to sue your neighbor for trespassing.
