What happens if a survey reveals an encroachment or boundary issue on 30A?

If a survey reveals an encroachment or boundary issue on 30A, it does not automatically stop the sale, but it should be addressed before closing. Common issues include fences, driveways, pools, or other improvements crossing property lines or violating setback requirements.

The next step is determining the severity of the issue. Some encroachments can be resolved with an easement or agreement between neighbors, while others may require boundary adjustments or additional legal review. In certain cases, the title company may require the issue to be resolved before issuing title insurance.

Because 30A properties often have high values and unique lot layouts, even a minor boundary issue can affect future improvements, resale value, or property rights.
