if the city has a right of way for a road in front of your house, how much of your land can they use?

What people don't often understand is that a road may be 30' wide, but the right of way can often be more like 60'. They cannot legally widen any road, ditches, etc, beyond the right of way, without your permission-- and you MUST be paid fair market value for the land they take. \n\nI would be willing to bet that the curbs and drainage all fall within the right of way. Have you ever noticed that you can be driving down a road and people's fences will be a good 8 or 10 feet off the shoulder? It's because they can only build up to the right of way, not to the road.\n\nHowever, if they are parking in your lawn-- and it sounds like this would be beyond even where the curbing/drainage is, they MUST pay you for the 'temporary use as a staging area" to use your lawn, and they MUST return your lawn to the same or better condition that it was in before they arrived.

Talk with neighbors who have big property.

Whoever owns the land owns all the air space above it.  I'm guessing you could make some arrangement with the owner over the use of the property, but the airspace wouldn't be subdividable (i.e. you could never split it into an individual parcel).

It depends on the laws of your state and the particular dispute you have.  You would probably serve yourself well to have the land surveyed before you attempt to sue your neighbor.  A surveyor will look at your property deed then determine where the actual "metes and bounds" of your property are.  The surveyor should also be able to give you some sort of opinion as to whether you are correct in your assumptions about your property boundary.\n\nGood luck!

Depends where you live. Look up the local ordinance to find out.

The easement should already be in place.  The title company should perform a full title search for you - bring the question up to them.\n\nEasement:  An interest in land owned by another person, consisting in the right to use or control the land ... for a specific limited purpose *such as to cross it for access to a public road.

Each state is different. And by the way, your property taxes don't pay for your roads!  Revenue comes from license plates fees, gas taxes, etc.\n\nThe city will only get involved if they have the funds and if they HAVE to.  \n\nI suggest that you contact the city board.  Sometimes management is unwilling to do something unless they get orders straight from the top.  If that doesn't work, strike up a letter campaign and let the local news know about it.  The one thing that THEY don't like is bad press.  But be prepared, they'll always claim lack of funds.  You can always file a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request against them to see if they really do have the funds or not.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do, because it's city property.  We can't control who parks on city property in front of our properties.

You'd have to get all the right permits. \nCall your City Planner's office and ask their office of what is required to do such a thing.\nLand use is limited by zoning laws which are determined by the city. So depends on where the land is and what not . You'd also need a boat load of insurance.

It depends on what the easement is for(ie.pipeline, electrical, sanitary etc...) Get the number for your town's planning commission or building permit office.  They should be able to tell you what can or can't be built there.

In general your property belongs to you and you can exclude your neighbors.\nHowever, there are a few exceptions:\n\nYour neighbors can claim "Easement by prescription"[1] if she was using the driveway for long enough. \n\nAlso if your neighbors have no other way to get out to main road they may claim "Easement by necessity". [2]\n\n\n\nIf you want to know specific laws for Property in Arkansas you can consult the state code[3] (look for chapter 18. Property)\n\nBut in general a thing like this will be governed by common law. So I would recommend a lawyer to take a look at the specific fact of your case.
