Neighbor Cut Some of my Tree Branches

I wish Native Americans were alive to see this...

 

I would think yes, I've cut a neighbor's branches which were couldn't damage.

 

Found this:

 

Racking my brain on this (mainly because this would be civil and not a criminal matter most of the time) and thinking back I think the answer is yes.

It is legal in most all cases that a homeowner can trim branches (that are crossing over onto their property line) of a tree whose trunk resides on anther's property....with one caveat in that the permanent overall health of the tree isn't damaged with the trimming.

 

you should sue him

What a nice neighbor.

You should ask him to trim your bushes too.

 

Yes they can, it is called encroachment and you are at fault.

 

Maybe you can just go over to your neighbor and lecture them about it like you do to dog owners.

 

Then why bring it up ... unless he attempting to chop something/someone else down of yours'...

 

You don't need the branch to fall for it to be encroachment. Learn what the word means before posting first, no offence.

It is one of the first things you learn in real estate classes, Princples 1. You have the right to cut branches entering your yard without permission.

 

Maybe you can hire him to cut down the whole thing.

 

We actually had this happen at our house when I was a kid. I remember my Dad having a heated discussion with my neighbor (not really an argument, but pretty close). He did some research and it turned out the neighbor did have every right to trim the branches that overhang the fence into his yard.

 

This is truth, unless there's a specific HOA restriction.

 

Lol, he's the OP. Why should he need to know the definition of some word someone might use before he posts? Especially if knowing about encroachment would preclude him from needing to start a thread.

 

HAHA rep
